• Reporting Fields
• 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 / GSF	0.13 MMBtu / GSF
Source energy	0.19 MMBtu / GSF	0.20 MMBtu / GSF

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:
