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.

Electricity use, baseline year (report kWh):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity 9,986,689.78 Kilowatt-hours 34,074.59 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) 1,032,782.45 Kilowatt-hours 3,523.85 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy 37,202 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
74,800.44 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
1,196,426 Gross square feet

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):
Start date End date
Baseline period March 1, 2017 Feb. 28, 2018

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
These time periods most accurately depict the current status of our campus from a building standpoint and include the most reliable energy data.

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
3

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.08 MMBtu per square foot 0.13 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year 0.06 MMBtu per square foot 0.12 MMBtu per square foot

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
0

Optional Fields 

Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
---

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Office of Sustainability runs several occupant engagement and behavior change campaigns focused on building energy use. Outreach and education through newsletter and targeted campus outreach with energy saving tips for academic breaks and seasonal shifts.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
BMS through Johnson Controls with setpoints, setbacks and occupancy/vacancy utilized; Energy Manager through SchoolDude for tracking and reporting; CopperTree Building Analytics for preventative maintenance and diagnostics; Temperature Policy and Green Building Standards; lighting occupancy sensors and auto-shut offs.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Entire campus (buildings and exterior) is almost completely retrofitted with LED lighting and controls as well as occupancy and vacancy sensors.

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:
Exploring onsite CHP opportunity.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Pursing energy conservation measures and retro-commissioning across campus building portfolio on a continuous basis. Also have begun the process of converting heating to VRFs and heat pumps, in an effort to reduce fossil fuel energy use.
