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 | 4,815,548 Kilowatt-hours | 16,430.65 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 357,466 Kilowatt-hours | 1,219.67 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Sustainable Practices Committee (See EN-5 2nd campaign for more information)
The Sustainable Practices Sub-Committee works to institutionalize sustainable practices on campus with the faculty and staff of HonCC. The committee audits employee practices, and with the data collected from the audit, the committee identifies improvements that could be made and works with the faculty and staff to enact these improvements. This includes identifying gaps in individual attitudes and energy use and efficiency practices.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Light fixtures were changed to a more efficient LED energy-saving model, Water fountains were also retrofitted to save water. Solar panels are installed on most buildings on campus. All buildings are now connected to a more efficient central AC system.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Light fixtures were retrofitted to LED and energy-efficient lighting strategies in Phase 1 of the Johnson Control retrofit.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Passive solar was put on the roof of the marine education center (Sand Island). They were going to install solar over a parking lot but there was a contamination problem where supports couldn't be installed so this part of the retrofit was stopped.
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:
Changed flushable toilet options to save water and put in water fountains where you can put in reusable water bottles and counts water usage versus the standard old fountains.
