A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
FY07 was adopted as the preferred baseline year for STARS data reporting as it represented consistent data availability across the majority of credits.
FY20 was chosen as the performance year since campus operations were limited during the majority of FY21. Weighted campus user and floor area figures reported in this credit are for FY20.
Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy | Source energy | |
Performance year | 0.19 MMBtu per square foot | 0.30 MMBtu per square foot |
Baseline year | 0.25 MMBtu per square foot | 0.38 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
