Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
West building is 45,000 sq. feet. Student Center is 24,000. Building energy consumption is 9307301 kWh (31733 MMbtu), 278993 therms (27899 MMbtu) and 12544 gal #2 heating oil (1719 MMbtu). Grid-purchase electricity includes from Lot 5 solar array, since we don't own the SRECs. Source ratios are US, from EPA Portfolio Manager.
Grid-purchased energy does not include energy from on-site solar array. (Need to reduce number to reflect this.)
Lab space is half of Science building. Other energy intensive space is half of a floor of the West building for computer labs (7500), plus the data center (1000) and the cafeteria kitchen (3000).
