• Credit Info

Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Grid-purchased electricity	84,457 MMBtu	78,404.70 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site renewables	27 MMBtu	0 MMBtu
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite)	0 MMBtu	0 MMBtu
Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass)	212,841 MMBtu	238,589.60 MMBtu
Total	297,325 MMBtu	316,994.30 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):
Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area of building space	2,480,000 Gross square feet	2,400,000 Gross square feet

Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Site energy	0.12 MMBtu per square foot	0.13 MMBtu per square foot
Source energy	0.19 MMBtu per square foot	0.20 MMBtu per square foot

Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):

	Degree days (see help icon above)
Heating degree days	5,712 Degree-Days (°F)
Cooling degree days	996 Degree-Days (°F)

Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:

	Floor Area
Laboratory space	77,309 Square feet
Healthcare space	1,523 Square feet
Other energy intensive space

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
Building energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area per degree day, performance year:
