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) | 85,108.61 Kilowatt-hours | 290.39 MMBtu |
A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
N/A
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
Parking Structure 1’s four rows of solar panels are designed to produce 227 kW, enough to supply the energy needs for the entire structure, making it a net-zero energy building.
Solar panels on the roof of the Engineering & Computer Science North (ECSN) Building provide 1.2 kilowatts of energy to be used in the Renewable Energy and Vehicular Technology Lab.
Solar panels at the UT Dallas Research and Operations Center (ROC) provide charging for faculty golf carts, allowing them to drive to the main campus without emissions. Installed in 2012, these 4-kilowatt panels are connected to batteries that are capable of storing 15 kilowatts, which provides for nighttime charging.
Solar thermal panels on the roof of the Student Services Building (SSB) heat the building’s water, decreasing the amount of electricity needed for the building’s operations.
