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 39,452,740 Kilowatt-hours 134,612.75 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) 0 Kilowatt-hours 0 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy 3,983.36 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
138,596.11 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
59,240.29 Gross square meters

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):
Start date End date
Baseline period Jan. 1, 2012 Dec. 31, 2012

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The baseline was selected in 2012, this was the year UDEM was a pilot from STARS outside US and Canada. After this year major efforts are done to transform our operations to more sustainable options.

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
2.50

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.83 MMBtu per square meter 2.02 MMBtu per square meter
Baseline year 2.34 MMBtu per square meter 5.75 MMBtu per square meter

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
64.90

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:
The maintenance department and collaborators are called upon to ensure that lighting is used responsibly, especially in times of low sunlight.

Students and collaborators must turn off electronic equipment at the end of each class. The Maintenance team is always available to attend to operating problems in classrooms.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Heating and cooling is manage from the Maintenance Deparment and temperatures shall be in between 22 and 24°C

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The institution's buildings prioritize the use of sunlight.

In the purchase of luminaires, low consumption LED bulbs are prioritized.

A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
N/A

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

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
In the purchase of new equipment, the acquisition of equipment certified by Energy Stars is prioritized.
