Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 374,899 MMBtu | 249,909 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 107,784 MMBtu | 110,572 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 13,699,707 MMBtu | 14,042,413 MMBtu |
| Total | 14,182,390 MMBtu | 14,402,894 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | April 1, 2016 | March 31, 2017 |
| Baseline Year | April 1, 1990 | March 31, 1991 |
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):
The baseline year, 1990/1991, was adopted because the University began, at that time, its energy and water saving measures.
Gross floor area of building space:

Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Site energy | 2.22 MMBtu per square foot | 3.45 MMBtu per square foot |
| Source energy | 2.22 MMBtu per square foot | 3.46 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
35.75

Optional Fields
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
The Green Office program and Residence Advisor handbooks help guide sustainable lifestyle practices including turning off the lights when not in a room or turning off computers overnight. These outreach efforts are organized by the Office of Sustainability.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
Variable air volume systems work in tandem with CO2 sensors to control fresh air intake.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
EXIT signs have been switched to energy conserving LED lights.
Over 85,000 light fixtures around the campuses have also been updated.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Heat recovery from several buildings with high solar gain (e.g. Pembina Hall).
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives (e.g. building re-commissioning or retrofit programs):
