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 | 87,296.08 MMBtu | 92,099 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 141,307 MMBtu | 183,782 MMBtu |
| Total | 228,603.08 MMBtu | 275,881 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | May 1, 2015 | April 30, 2016 |
| Baseline Year | May 1, 2007 | April 30, 2010 |
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 building energy baselines are chosen in accordance with the timing of the energy projects. All buildings have undergone energy projects and the baselines are chosen the year piror to the energy project. The energy projects are tracked (measured and verified anually) and reported annually to the Board of Goveners. This is all accomplished with the oversite of the Energy Management Comittee.
Gross floor area of building space:

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):
---
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
---
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
In July 2017 LED retrofit was carried out in the Facilities Management building whereby the T8, Compact Fluorescent bulbs and exterior High Pressure Sodium lights were replaced by LED alternatives. The payback period for this is 2.8 years. The old system was using up 12.7 kW per year which was costing around $5,700 to the university. With the new system installed the energy consumption of the building is now more than halved. The new electrical load is 5.4 kW per year which now costs $2,300.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
---
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):
