Report on Utilities Usage and Cost, 1980-81 to 1984-85.
Alabama State Commission on Higher Education, Montgomery.
The consumption and cost of energy and other types of utilities by state college campuses were analyzed by the Alabama Commission on Higher Education. A focus of attention has been changes in energy usage per square foot from year to year as an indicator of the institutions' energy conservation and, over time, of the changing characteristics of energy efficiency of the campuses' facilities. Data on utilities usage and costs are provided for senior institutions, two-year colleges, junior colleges, technical colleges, and community colleges. Steps that were taken to produce the statistical tables and graphs include: heat values were calculated for reported fuel and steam consumption by year; electrical energy consumption was compiled for each class of building space; energy values per gross square foot of building floor area were calculated for fuels and steam, for electrical energy, and for total energy input; total purchased fuel and utilities costs, including water, sewage disposal, and solid waste disposal, were determined and average fuel and utilities costs per gross square foot were calculated; heating degree-days and cooling degree-days were determined for each reporting year; and graphs were prepared for institutions showing total energy consumption per gross square foot by year. A blank Quarterly Utilities Report and instruction are appended. (SW)
