A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
In 2018, UW Bothell launched our Sustainability Action Plan, which included aggressive load shedding efforts that would dramatically reduce our energy consumption. 2017 was the final year that nothing was altered, and is used as our baseline year for the load shedding project.
Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Site energy | Source energy | |
| Performance year | 0.05 MMBtu / GSF | 0.11 MMBtu / GSF |
| Baseline year | 0.03 MMBtu / GSF | 0.07 MMBtu / GSF |
Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Our 2018 UW Bothell Sustainability Action Plan outlines energy efficiency and savings as a priority, and our Facilities Services team has made it a norm to continually find ways to improve.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Since 2018, UW Bothell Facilities Services and Campus Operations has been working to replace burnt lightbulbs with LED replacements in common areas, classrooms and garages.
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:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
We work to replace chillers, boilers, and other equipment to more efficient options through applying for grant funding and replacing bad equipment with more efficient options.
