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 | 144,796,454 Kilowatt-hours | 494,045.50 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 181,000 Kilowatt-hours | 617.57 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy | 4,351,739 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water | 0 MMBtu |

A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
The campus Cogeneration Plant, placed in service in 1994, uses natural gas as fuel source to produce approximately 70 percent of the campus’ electricity needs. For over two decades, it also utilized landfill gas from a local landfill, which was a diminishing supply. Waste heat from the production of electricity, along with additional natural gas, is used to produce steam for campus heating and for humidification, cooking, and sterilization. Steam is also used to produce a portion of the chilled water used to air condition many of the campus buildings. Together these mechanisms provide 90% of the energy for the entire campus.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
UCLA has a decades long history of energy efficiency ranging from lighting fixture replacement to occupancy sensors. More recently, deep energy efficiency work through the Smart Buildings and Lab program (https://facilities.ucla.edu/smart-buildings-and-labs-program) focuses on retro-commissioning and audits to identify Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs). MBCx (monitoring based commissioning) through analytics software transitions buildings to a proactive approach after project completion.
