A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
The university has seven solar arrays. There is one array on a student house on Evanston Avenue, and five arrays on student houses on Stonemill Road.
The seventh is a demonstration unit donated by a local company. It's installed next to the RecPlex and is currently used to power the adjacent streetlights through a battery storage system designed as a student project. That array's production is not included in the above total.
In the fall of 2018, more than 1 MW of on-site solar generation was brought online, but that is after the 2017-2018 fiscal year so it is not included in this total.

Other (please specify and explain below) | 1.10 |
A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
Data taken from eGRID 2014 based on PJM generation mix. This mix includes 0.6% from oil and 0.5% from other fossil fuels.
Energy used for heating buildings, by source::
Percentage of total energy used to heat buildings (0-100) | |
Biomass | 0 |
Coal | 0 |
Electricity | 0 |
Fuel oil | 0 |
Geothermal | 0 |
Natural gas | 100 |
Other (please specify and explain below) | 0 |
A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
In very few cases, there is some electric heating in the form of electric resistance heating or heat pumps, but we have no way of measuring how much energy these systems use. They are insignificant to the total.
Percentage of total energy consumption from clean and renewable sources:
0.53
