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) | 2,895 Kilowatt-hours | 9.88 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:
There are several locations on campus where electricity is generated from solar power and fed into the campus grid. These are: 1) Facilities Complex Bldg # 3 (FC3) - 2) Manor Garage (MAG) - 3) Pickle Research Campus (PRC). A separate site uses solar power to produce hot water at Norman Hackerman Building (NHB).
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 NHB solar thermal system is the Apricus AP-30 evacuated tube system and consists of 36 5-panel banks. The heated water goes to the reheat coils in the VAV terminal units.
