Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Given the more accurate data recorded in fiscal year 2009 in conjunction with the greenhouse gas emissions inventory, we have chosen to use this as our baseline year. Since that time, WUSTL's Energy Reduction Committee has identified $46.6 M worth of energy conservation projects and our Facilities departments have made substantial progress in implementing many of the initiatives included. That being said, it is likely that the University has reduced energy consumption to a larger extent than is indicated by the data presented here.
