None
Total building energy consumption, all sources (transportation fuels excluded):
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Total building energy consumption | 81,160.30 MMBtu | 70,752 MMBtu |
None
Purchased electricity and steam:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 39,721.30 MMBtu | 33,776.20 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
None
Gross floor area of building space::
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Gross floor area | 94,077.85 Gross square meters | 74,544.16 Gross square meters |
None
Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year::
| Floor Area | |
| Laboratory space | 2,223.54 Square meters |
| Healthcare space | 0 Square meters |
| Other energy intensive space |
None
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F)::
| Degree days (see help icon above) | |
| Heating degree days | 4,272 |
| Cooling degree days | 2,482 |
None
Source-site ratios::
| Source-Site Ratio (see help icon above) | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 3.14 |
| District steam/hot water | 1.20 |
None
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods)::
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | July 1, 2012 | June 30, 2013 |
| Baseline Year | July 1, 2009 | June 30, 2010 |
None
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
This was the performance year from our last STARS (2010-2011) and thereby allows us to compare progress since that last assessment. For ACUPCC reporting, 2008 is used as a baseline for all years.
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Buildings are maintained between 68-72 degrees during occupied hours. Recently, the institution began reducing/increasing temperatures to save energy during unoccupied hours.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
LEDs are currently used in limited locations, like exit lighting and parking structures.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
These are used widely in bathroom spaces, as well as most rooms in newer buildings/renovations, like Meldrum Science Center and Bassis Center for Student Learning.
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
None
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
None
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
None
None
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
None
None
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Meldrum Science Center is extensively monitored by floor and system, and this information is available to students for research and visitors through interactive displays. Hogle and Carleson residence halls both have individual electricity monitoring because they are not submetered and data is needed for the annual residence hall energy challenge.
None
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Westminster replaces equipment with the most efficient models possible when they need to be replaced.
None
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
None
None
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
None
None
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
None
None
