Exceptional cases

• We are assuming that your campus burns some kind of fuel (natural gas, fuel oil, etc.) and buys electricity for non-heating needs from off-campus. If you heat using electricity, identify a way to isolate what portion is used for heating (convert to BTU) and what is non-heating (leave in kWh). Otherwise, participate in the electrical competition only and make sure you can record this fact as a note when reporting data. 1 kWh of electricity converted into heat yields 3,413 BTU.
• We are assuming that no campuses use air conditioning in February, and thus are not including Cooling Degree Days, which would significantly complicate measuring electricity.
• If you generate electricity on campus in any significant quantity, please include it in your electrical reporting. If this is not feasible, make sure you can record this as a note. If you co-generate electricity with your heating system, please record the amount of BTU your generator produces as heating, but count only purchased (not co-generated) electricity in the electrical consumption.
