Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Grid-purchased electricity	1,189,131.03 MMBtu	749,001 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site renewables	94.14 MMBtu	0 MMBtu
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite)	471,903 MMBtu	375,935 MMBtu
Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass)	432,843.19 MMBtu	443,584.81 MMBtu
Total	2,093,971.36 MMBtu	1,568,520.81 MMBtu

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	Jan. 1, 2017	Dec. 31, 2017
Baseline Year	Jan. 1, 2011	Dec. 31, 2011

A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area of building space	14,407,080 Gross square feet	6,701,000 Gross square feet

Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Site energy	0.15 MMBtu per square foot	0.23 MMBtu per square foot
Source energy	0.33 MMBtu per square foot	0.48 MMBtu per square foot

Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):

	Degree days (see help icon above)
Heating degree days	908.50 Degree-Days (°F)
Cooling degree days	3,710.40 Degree-Days (°F)

Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:

	Floor Area
Laboratory space	1,108,238 Square feet
Healthcare space	46,253 Square feet
Other energy intensive space

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
