10.19 Btu / GSF / Degree-Day (°F)

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	26,422,701.53 Kilowatt-hours	90,154.26 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	0 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water	0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:

90,154.26 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:

2,029,722 Gross square feet

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):

	Start date	End date
Baseline period	July 1, 2011	June 30, 2012

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Site energy	Source energy
Performance year	0.04 MMBtu per square foot	0.13 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year	0.04 MMBtu per square foot	0.13 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:

2.93

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:

-Students and staff receive announcements before University breaks to power down electronics.
-During the annual Instagram Sustainability Challenge, participants are challenged to reduce energy such as using natural light and unplugging before bed.
-Monthly themed challenges are posted on Instagram, Facebook and via newsletter with prizes to engage the community in sustainable behaviors. July's theme is "Energy."

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:

Pacific utilizes web-based Energy Management Systems to control HVAC equipment settings based on occupancy, time and season. Scheduled times are: Offices M-F 7am- 5pm; Academic building’s M-F 7am- 10pm; Dorms 24/7; Athletics 7 days a week 6am- 9pm.

Occupied set points are 74 degrees for cooling and 68 degrees for heating. Unoccupied set points are 85 degrees for cooling and 45 degrees for heating. In an effort to standardized the control systems, Pacific is also currently in the process of replacing multiple, old control systems.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:

Nearly all exterior lighting is LED. Physical Plant regularly replaces flourescent lights with LEDs when old lights burn out. Over 20% of the buildings have all LED and every year four to five more buildings are converted. In FY 18 nearly 5,000 lamps were installed. Over 3,500 LED lamps were installed in FY19.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Based on Energy use data from all Stockton meters for 1 year billing cycle. Meters have different billing dates so data was sorted from July 1, 2018 - July 15, 2019 to capture a full billing cycle. Baseline data only included Stockton campus so only Stockton data is reported.
