Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
the data for thermal is based on natural gas boilers to produce thermal utilities. UTSA buildings are primarily electric except for the Engineering building, Durango building, the HEB Student Union, which today is running primarily on solar arrays due to the limited use from COVID.
the high amount of energy is for the downtown campus which uses a mix of electric and gas for heating.
the high amount of energy is for the downtown campus which uses a mix of electric and gas for heating.
