Level of ”Physical Risk Quantity” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:

Low

Part 1. Reduction in potable water use per person

Total water withdrawal (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water withdrawal	77,062.25 Cubic meters	101,820.19 Cubic meters

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	77,062.25 Cubic meters	101,820.19 Cubic meters

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Period	Jan. 1, 2019	Dec. 31, 2019
Baseline Period	Jan. 1, 2017	Dec. 31, 2017

If end date of the baseline year/period is 2004 or earlier, provide:

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

Red River College Polytech took over ownership of the Notre Dame Campus, the main campus, in 2016. 2017 was the first complete year of operation after taking over ownership.

The performance year was selected as the last complete year of normal operations pre-pandemic. For this reason, the numbers reported below to calculate weighted campus differ from PRE-5 because the numbers used in PRE-5 are the most recent numbers available and the ones used for the performance year are from 2019.

Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	58	50
Number of employees resident on-site	0	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	8,620.70	8,677.20
Full-time equivalent of employees	1,525	1,397
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	339.30	277.90
Weighted campus users	7,369.30	7,359.73

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per weighted campus user	10.46 Cubic meters	13.83 Cubic meters

Percentage reduction in potable water use per weighted campus user from baseline:

24.41

Part 2. Reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area

Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area	151,705.42 Gross square meters	141,951.42 Gross square meters

Potable water use per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use per unit of floor area	0.51 Cubic meters per square meter	0.72 Cubic meters per square meter

Percentage reduction in potable water use per unit of floor area from baseline:

29.18

Part 3. Reduction in total water withdrawal per unit of vegetated grounds

Area of vegetated grounds:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Vegetated grounds	16.19 Hectares	16.19 Hectares

Total water withdrawal per unit of vegetated grounds:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water withdrawal per unit of vegetated grounds	4,760.63 Cubic meters per hectare	6,290.08 Cubic meters per hectare

Percentage reduction in total water withdrawal per unit of vegetated grounds from baseline:

24.32
