Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

MMBtu's for performance year are from purchased natural gas, electricity for main and lower campus, 2300 and LML.

MMBtu's are significantly lower than baseline and previous year because of the reduction in purchased natural gas due to cogeneration plant shutdown for entire calendar year.
