Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion 3,546.06 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 7,156 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources 180.33 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 138 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported electricity 2,653.37 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 11,719 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported thermal energy 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Total 6,379.75 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 19,013 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Carbon sinks

Figures needed to determine net carbon sinks:
Performance year Baseline year
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Carbon storage from on-site composting 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Carbon storage from non-additional sequestration 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent ---
Carbon sold or transferred 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Net carbon sinks 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Adjusted net GHG emissions

Adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions:
Performance year Baseline year
Adjusted net GHG emissions 6,379.75 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 19,013 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Performance and baseline periods

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
Performance year Baseline year
Start date July 1, 2020 July 1, 2012
End date June 30, 2021 June 30, 2013

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
2013 was established as the greenhouse gas emissions baseline because this the most recent year that we have both electricity, natural gas, oil, and gasoline data to draw upon.

Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person

Weighted campus users

Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:
Performance year Baseline year
Number of students resident on-site 2,587 2,456
Number of employees resident on-site 11 20
Number of other individuals resident on-site 16 0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment 3,564 3,470
Full-time equivalent of employees 706.30 642
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education 373.90 0
Weighted Campus Users 3,587.80 3,703

Metrics used in scoring for Part 1

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user:
Performance year Baseline year
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user 1.78 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 5.13 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
65.37

Part 2. GHG emissions per unit of floor area

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
0.00 MtCO2e per square foot
