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 | 3,392,822 Kilowatt-hours | 11,576.31 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 1,515.17 Kilowatt-hours | 5.17 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy | 972.49 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water | 0 MMBtu |

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Part of our Smart Campus Initiative focuses on energy efficiency. We have updated the campus baseline of energy consumption, have defined an energy efficiency action plan and installed smart metering to better understand campus energy behavior. A beta energy dashboard has been implemented with the gathered data to serve as a tool for outreach and decision making.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
An energy efficiency student led group analyzed the campus' performance based on the ISO 5001. The findings were incorporated in the energy action plan part of the Smart Campus project Energy Management System.
Our imported energy consumption has increased from the baseline year mainly due to an increase in campus population of 5.4%. An increase in population is related to higher energy demands, longer use of campus installations and resources.
