Therms and Electricity Data
CWU is carefully tracking its electricity and gas consumption, and working to reduce consumption despite increasing building square footage.
The size of CWU's building footprint (campus square footage) increased during 1999-2016 with the addition of new buildings.
With improved energy efficiency measures, consumption of gas (therms) has decreased during this time, despite the increase in campus building footprint.

Total electricity consumption at CWU has fluctuated over time with changing square footage. The electricity/campus square footage data indicates electricity efficiency improvements over time.
