Energy Use

First released in 2021, the Building Energy Use Intensity Dashboard below showcases Pitt’s building energy use intensity and performance at both the building and Pittsburgh campus scales, while simultaneously selecting variable time frames through which to review data and results.

Contextual baselines and goals are also provided campus-wide and for each building, reflecting Pitt’s commitment to goals of 50% reductions in energy use intensity (consumption per square foot) by 2030 (below 2003 national baselines for energy and a more recent regional baseline for water). These two goals were codified again in the Pitt Sustainability Plan and Pitt Climate Action Plan.
