A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

The water consumption baseline was adopted in January of 2015 when the university entered into a contract with Cenergistic for energy management. The 2013-2014 fiscal year was the most recent complete data set at the time of the contract.

Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

Number of employees resident on-site	14	14
Number of other individuals resident on-site	14	14
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	3,313	3,300
Full-time equivalent of employees	680	680
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	168	168
Weighted campus users	3,336.50	3,326.50

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	6,166.04 Gallons	9,049.45 Gallons

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:

31.86
