Part 2. Reduction in source energy use per unit of floor area
Baseline year energy consumption
STARS 2.2 requires electricity data in kilowatt-hours (kWh). If a baseline has already been established in a previous version of STARS and the institution wishes to continue using it, the electricity data must be re-entered in kWh. To convert existing electricity figures from MMBtu to kWh, simply multiply by 293.07107 MMBtu/kWh.
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity | --- | 0 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | --- | 0 MMBtu |

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
An energy strategy plan is currently in development, outreach to school-based stakeholders is underway to strategize messaging to motivate school level behavior to reduce energy intensity.
Two undergraduate sustainability ambassadors (interns) focus on energy intensity in the University's res halls and work to implement annual outreach campaigns to reduce usage.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Almost every building on campus uses Direct Digital Control to automatically keep HVAC systems within a seasonal-specific and occupancy-based temperature range. Additionally in 2011, the University adopted a temperature set point policy of 68-72 degrees: 68 for winter, 72 for Summer with a two degree range on both.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Common spaces - stairwells, hallways, elevators, classrooms - wherever LEDs can affordably be installed - are systematically converted with 75% of academic campus buildings completed while 95% of garages have been converted to LED through an Illumination Purchase Agreement (IPA). Additional LED lighting is used in external / outside lighting applications. Additionally, all vending machines on campus are fitted with LED lighting.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:

A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
The University does have a retro-commissioning strategy plan. A new building audit prioritization tool and system is being employed with focuses on 5-10 buildings per year based on work order data, building energy intensity and cost of operation.
