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	60,698,568.73 Kilowatt-hours	207,103.52 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	76,203 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water	0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:

283,306.52 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:

5,064,445 Gross square feet

Baseline period

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

	Start date	End date
Baseline period	Jan. 1, 2016	Dec. 31, 2016

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:

2016 is the baseline year referenced in the University's 1st edition of the Strategic Sustainability Plan

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Site energy	Source energy
Performance year	0.05 MMBtu per square foot	0.12 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year	0.06 MMBtu per square foot	0.14 MMBtu per square foot

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

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

11.92

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:

We run a week-long energy efficiency campaign each year, "Energy Week". We also perform outreach around Winter Shutdown encouraging staff, faculty, and residents to turn off + unplug electronics and appliances before leaving for winter break. More about these initiatives are in the engagement section.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:

The institution implemented half-day Fridays as an energy-saving initiative after Hurricane Rita. University hours are from 7:30am-5:30pm Monday-Thursday and 7:30am-12:30pm on Fridays. Outside of those times buildings are put into "unoccupied" mode where the heat/ac are adjusted to lower/higher temperatures when people are not expected to be in the buildings.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:

We have commissioned a complete lighting retrofit in Bourgeois Hall, the student recreation center. All lighting is replaced with LED lights. Any other lights that are replaced on campus moving forward will be replaced with LEDs.
