this reporting field for the reason specified below.
Previous Value:

Explanation:
. During the 2013 fiscal year, we have been able to gather a full 10-year history of energy consumption for the campus and so have rebuilt the greenhouse gas data-set using the latest version of the Clear Air-Cool Planet calculation tool. (v.6.851)
In the process of developing these metrics, we have identified a portion of our previously reported Greenhouse Gas emissions as being specifically attributable to the regional hospital to which we have been selling (coal-fired and/or gas-fired) steam. Thus the boundary of the campus environmental impact specifically must parse-out the portion of Greenhouse Gas load attributable to that hospital. Thus we have adjusted the GHG emissions Scope 1 accordingly, and with the ten-year data-set are able to show more clearly the track of environmental load from the campus during the last decade.
Moreover, this reporting begins to reflect the initial impact of our move away from Scope 1 coal-fired combustion as we switch to district-scale geothermal (ground source heat pump) heating and cooling. As of this date, fully 47 buildings are online for cooling and some 20 are online for heating.

These values are split across FY Reporting times as reflected in the latest syubmittal of CACP GHG assessments for the campus.
Specifically, we purchased:
1,072 Green-e Credits (MWh) Certified National Voluntary Wind REC Generated from NextERA Energy Rerouces Wind Portfolio (for Park Hall)
1,000 Green-e Credits (MWh) Energy Certifiable Renewable Energy Credits from NextERA Energy Power Marketing (for the Letterman Building)
Total: 2,072 MWh
(2,072,000 kWh x 0.77655/1000 kWh = 1,609 metric tons of CO2

1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012
1) We are continuing to use a Fiscal Year (FY) Reporting window so as to align with our Strategic Planning and Budgeting Schedules.
2) We are annotating our GHG emissions report this cycle to register the 'export' of steam to an adjacent regional hospital which represents 18% of the Scope 1 emissions previously attributable to the campus.
3) As of 26 November 2013, Ball State University has transferred 28,753 MT of 2011-12 Carbon Reduction Credits (CRCs) to the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) on behalf of the Chevrolet Carbon Reduction Initiative (CRI). These credits thereby are retired by Chevrolet on behalf of the climate and not claimed as credit against any other (industry-related) emissions.
As a result of this transaction, the 28,753 CRCs no longer apply to the target CRC reductions of Ball State University for the 2011-12 reporting period.
This transaction is a component of a three-year longitudinal study by BSU of the Voluntary Carbon Market and the related piloting of a new carbon-reduction verification methodology developed by the Carbon Neutral Business Network (CNBN); wherein BSU is evaluating: the protocols of that new verification methodology; best practices for accounting such transactions; and the means needed to publicly report such transactions through STARS and ACUPCC.
Once STARS issues other procedures for documenting such transfers, our Carbon Credit Reductions will be filed using that (new) public-reporting protocol.
