It also is part of UNMC&#8217;s continued effort to conserve energy.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to a private residence, UNMC&#8217;s energy bill is based on the amount of energy used (kWh). However, unlike residential bills, the campus also pays for its energy demand (kW) or the amount of instantaneous energy needed at a given time. That rate is pro-rated for 11 months based on the peak amount of energy used in a 15-minute period.<\/p>\n<p>The campus generally reaches its peak energy demand in August. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With
