Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Performance Year = Fiscal Year 2010 Gross Square feet includes Walnut Hill Properties (not owned by Tufts). Building efficiency efforts have been going on since 1990, so this metric only captures a portion of the reduction in energy consumption per gross sq. ft. Dining services at Tufts specifically buys the most energy efficient equipment available in the market and periodically audits their operating processes to identity opportunities to reduce energy and water consumption.
