A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Our first GHG inventory was completed in 2008 in compliance with the signing of the ACUPCC.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 5,251 | 6,181 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 18,819 | 15,877 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 3,169 | 2,819 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 5,068 | 2,548 |
Weighted Campus Users | 14,002.75 | 13,656.25 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 5.64 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 10.56 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
District-scale Geothermal Heat Pump Chiller Installation
Behavioral Change Campaign
Lighting Retrofits
Building System Retro Commissioning and automation
LEED Certification of New Construction and Renovations
Long-range planning for on-campus PV Installation
Ball State University has instituted and was approved by the board of trustees an strategic imperative to reduce its total carbon footprint to 60,000 mtCO2e by 2024. This is a milestone to the pathway of obtaining carbon neutral by 2030.
A Presidents Sustainability Working Group was established by the President to determine the means and develop a template to carbon neutral by 2030.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
1) We are continuing to use a Fiscal Year (FY) Reporting window so as to align with our Strategic Planning and Budgeting Schedules.
2) Nonetheless, our accounting of CO2e quantities for transaction on the VCM
are bounded by calendar year.
3) These transactions are used to garner carbon capital with which to accelerate
and deepen our overall reductions as we pursue our goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2030.
