Total energy consumption, performance year:
Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) | 24,978.45 Kilowatt-hours | 85.23 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
The University has a series of research photo-voltaic solar panels that generate electricity. The primary function of these panels, however, is research and not to reduce or offset environmental impacts.
Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy | 0 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:
The University of Ottawa has none yet.
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable thermal energy:
Unbundled renewable energy products (report kWh):
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Purchased RECs, GOs, I-RECs or equivalent unbundled renewable energy products certified by a third party | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the unbundled renewable energy products:
The University of Ottawa has none yet.

| Biomass | 0 |
| Coal | 0 |
| Electricity | 20 |
| Fuel oil | 0 |
| Geothermal | 0 |
| Natural gas | 80 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | --- |
A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
The University of Ottawa employees heat capture technology in many of its buildings (especially buildings that have undergone deep energy retrofits). Heat from the metabolic activity of the machinery and people inside the buildings are recirculated to reduce heating from natural gas. This energy is expressed through the electricity used to operate these heat harvesting systems.
