Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 527,799 MMBtu | 454,606 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 0 MMBtu | 438,513 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 789,050 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| Total | 1,316,849 MMBtu | 893,119 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | Sept. 1, 2017 | Aug. 31, 2018 |
| Baseline Year | Sept. 1, 2009 | Aug. 31, 2010 |
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
---
Gross floor area of building space:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Gross floor area of building space | 9,501,340 Gross square feet | 8,069,783 Gross square feet |
Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
3.14
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Site energy | 0.14 MMBtu per square foot | 0.11 MMBtu per square foot |
| Source energy | 0.26 MMBtu per square foot | 0.24 MMBtu per square foot |

Optional Fields
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
---
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
Texas Tech University uses seasonally shifting set points. New buildings are equipped with occupancy sensors and schedules for lights, AHU's are "on demand" after 9:00 P. M.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
15% of Exterior lighting LED. LED lights, interior and exterior, are specified for all new construction. Residence halls are approximately 50% LED.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives (e.g. building re-commissioning or retrofit programs):

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Gross floor area of building space number includes rental sites, CAM sites, abandoned spaces and unoccupied spaces. In addition, The most important consideration here is that the 10,005,766.00 ft2 is not matched to energy point of use, which should properly include only occupied square footage. That number is 9,182,788 ft2.
