A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The baseline was selected in 2012, this was the year UDEM was a pilot from STARS outside US and Canada. After this year major efforts are done to transform our operations to more sustainable options.
Source-site ratio for imported electricity:

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
The maintenance department and collaborators are called upon to ensure that lighting is used responsibly, especially in times of low sunlight.
Students and collaborators must turn off electronic equipment at the end of each class. The Maintenance team is always available to attend to operating problems in classrooms.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Heating and cooling is manage from the Maintenance Deparment and temperatures shall be in between 22 and 24°C
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The institution's buildings prioritize the use of sunlight.
In the purchase of luminaires, low consumption LED bulbs are prioritized.
