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 | 5,247,389 Kilowatt-hours | 17,904.09 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 | 13,011.50 MMBtu |

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
In years 2020-2021 projects were undertaken at campus for upgrading and insulation of:
- air conditioning external piping and ducts
- natural gas heating pipes
- the classrooms openings and walls
Gym equipped with air purification devices (by Airius) which contribute to energy consumption reduction
All the spaces renovation projects include replacement of energy consuming equipment (heating & cooling system, lights, pc etc) with high efficiency alternatives and replacement of natural gas and fossil fuel with electricity
