Clean and renewable electricity
| 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) | 10,000 Kilowatt-hours | 34.12 MMBtu |

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
On its south side, the Noel Fine Arts Center has its own 18-window photovoltaic panel. The panel captures light energy from the sun and uses it to light parts of the Fine Arts Center inner courtyard area. Each of the 18 windows produces about 900 - 1,200 watts of electricity on a sunny day.
Scheemkle Reserve has solar panels that power the EV charging station as well as the visitor center.
Water heating is offset by the use of solar panels used across several residence halls.
