Part 2. Reduction in source energy use per unit of floor area
Baseline year energy consumption
STARS 2.2 requires electricity data in kilowatt-hours (kWh). If a baseline has already been established in a previous version of STARS and the institution wishes to continue using it, the electricity data must be re-entered in kWh. To convert existing electricity figures from MMBtu to kWh, simply multiply by 293.07107 MMBtu/kWh.
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity | 22,829,910 Kilowatt-hours | 77,895.65 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy | 319,377 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water | 0 MMBtu |

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The 1990 baseline year has been adopted because it is consistent with New York State's GHG emissions targets.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Programs and courses offered throughout the institution, peer-to-peer outreach, promotion of sustainable transportation, prevalence of LED lighting and LEED rated buildings, and related on-campus events have contributed to a culture of energy efficiency.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
In all campus buildings an Building Automation System is employed.The base systems for the campus are by Trane and Carrier. These systems automatically (on programmed schedule) turn the building AHUs on/off, reset space temperatures, control ventilation rates, adjust lighting levels, etc. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) standards are utilized.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Replacement program and projects for interior and exterior.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
The campus currently has one geothermal field (240 wells), and will soon have another (for Hewitt). The long term goal will be to switch to a hot water distribution system in lieu of the current steam system, with multiple geothermal fields contributing to those loops. We have a solar chimney in Waterbury Residence Hall.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
All construction projects require high efficiency lighting, motors, appliances, etc. The campus has already installed soft start VFD controls on the majority of the large motors and equipment in the buildings, and will continue to do so.
