Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Grid-purchased electricity | 67,098.88 MMBtu | 63,653.96 MMBtu |
Electricity from on-site renewables | 26.32 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 187,964.40 MMBtu | 182,393.62 MMBtu |
Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
Total | 255,089.60 MMBtu | 246,047.58 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | July 1, 2016 | June 30, 2017 |
Baseline Year | July 1, 2004 | June 30, 2005 |
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
We are using the same baseline that UW-System Department of Administration uses in their annual Energy Report for all Wisconsin buildings.
Gross floor area of building space:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Gross floor area of building space | 2,244,485 Gross square feet | 1,767,380 Gross square feet |
Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
3.14
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Site energy | 0.11 MMBtu per square foot | 0.14 MMBtu per square foot |
Source energy | 0.19 MMBtu per square foot | 0.24 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
17.96
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):
Degree days (see help icon above) | |
Heating degree days | 6,098 Degree-Days (°F) |

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) includes our stand alone natural gas units as well, numbers are pulled from the State Facilities Report (https://psc.wi.gov/Pages/Programs/OEI/WisconsinEnergyStatistics.aspx) in order to maintain consistency and in this report all natural gas and coal (steam plant and otherwise) is lumped together under "thermal".
