Electricity from on-site renewables 0 MMBtu 0 MMBtu
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) 0 MMBtu 0 MMBtu
Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) 0 MMBtu 0 MMBtu
Total 95,580 MMBtu 85,523 MMBtu

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date End Date
Performance Year Jan. 1, 2016 Dec. 31, 2016
Baseline Year Jan. 1, 2014 Dec. 31, 2014

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):

Registration of this information started with the introduccion of the Sustainability Program at the University with the new administration.


Gross floor area of building space:

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):

Sustainability office has a project called UAT Sustentable which aim is to rise awarenes of environmental issues, energy efficiency, sustainable practices through conferences, workshops and campaigns.
It also has two manuals: sustainable events and green offices.


A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
---

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:

According to the strategic plan of the Administration Secretariat, the Maintenance Department of the University has started a program which aim is to change the luminaries in the main existing buildings. LEDs luminaries has been installed in the Management Building, "Gestion del Conocimiento"
