Common use of Reporting Methods Clause in Contracts

Reporting Methods. a. Explicitly identify the geographic and operational areas comprising the scope of location water usage (e.g., the campus as defined by its Long Range Development Plan boundary, excluding third-party operated facilities). b. Locations with health locations may choose to report health locations data and progress toward the target separately from the main campus. c. All locations will report water usage in a tabular format using the following methods: i. Measure per capita water consumption by Weighted Campus User (WCU) for main campuses and Adjusted Patient Day (APD) for health locations. If necessary, WCU and APD may be combined using the following calculation: [(APD/360) * 1.5] + WCU; ii. Potable water usage for a baseline period that is three consecutive fiscal years, including FY 2005/06, 2006/07, and FY 2007/08: • Total location potable water usage, in gallons, for each of the three years comprising the baseline period, • WCU, or APD, for each of the three years comprising the baseline period, • Baseline Potable Water Usage: calculate the baseline metric as follows: Step 1: Divide each year’s total water use in gallons by that years’ WCU or APD population. Step 2: Average the three gallons/population calculations to derive the Baseline Potable Water Usage for the location, • Multiply the Baseline Potable Water Usage figure by 0.64 to derive the location’s 2025 Potable Water Usage Target, and • Unless impracticable, provide average gallons of potable water usage per baseline year per gross square foot of location built space for which potable water consumption is being reported iii. Potable water usage for the most recent fiscal year. • If using only the most recent fiscal year, and not an average, list in the table the following: o Total location potable water usage, in gallons, for the most recent fiscal year, o WCU or APD for the most recent fiscal year, o Divide the gallons by the WCU or APD to derive the Current Potable Water Usage, and • If feasible, provide average gallons of potable water usage per gross square feet for either the three most current fiscal years, if that is the method adopted, or for the single most current fiscal year, using the methodology described above. iv. If data is available, total location non-potable water usage, in gallons, for the most recent fiscal year. v. If data is available, report or estimate water usage in the following use categories at a minimum: buildings, landscape, and central plant including cooling towers, identifying the quantities of potable and non-potable used for these purposes.
