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.

Electricity use, baseline year (report kWh):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity 1,353,113 Kilowatt-hours 4,616.82 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 1,438.11 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
6,054.93 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
720.46 Gross square meters

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):
Start date End date
Baseline period May 1, 2019 April 30, 2020

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The management and operation of the Université TÉLUQ building by the Material Resources Department began in April 2019.

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
2

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.74 MMBtu per square meter 1.24 MMBtu per square meter
Baseline year 8.40 MMBtu per square meter 14.81 MMBtu per square meter

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
91.66

Optional Fields 

Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
---

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Since 2019, several natural gas strategies have been deployed to improve energy efficiency in the building. In 2019, fresh air ventilation rates were adjusted and variable frequency drives were added for the building’s main ventilation unit fans. The following year, the efficiency of the natural gas humidifiers was improved.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Ventilation for indoor air quality meets the ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2018 criteria.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The entire building is lit with LED fixtures. The majority of the meeting rooms have occupancy sensors to automatically turn off the lights when unoccupied. The building has lighting relay panels to automatically turn off the lighting when not in use. Only the emergency lighting remains on.

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:
---

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
A feasibility study is currently underway to replace the building’s main ventilation units and HVAC infrastructure. The integration of the following efficiency measures is being evaluated: aerothermal, building exhaust air energy recovery, integration of efficient fans and the addition of efficient condensing boilers.
