Does the institution's GHG emissions inventory include all Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions?:
Yes
Does the institution's GHG emissions inventory include all Scope 3 GHG emissions from any of the following categories?:
Yes or No | |
Business travel | No |
Commuting | No |
Purchased goods and services | No |
Capital goods | No |
Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 | No |
Waste generated in operations | No |
Does the institution's GHG emissions inventory include Scope 3 emissions from other categories?:
No
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
Our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions inventory is determined by our energy department and is recorded as required by the TCEQ for the University's PBR.
Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
No
A brief description of the internal and/or external verification process:
---
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions::
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion | 273,481 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 309,287 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity | 65,079 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 67,254 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Scope 2 GHG emissions from other sources | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Figures needed to determine total carbon offsets::
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon sequestration due to land that the institution manages specifically for sequestration | 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 |
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased | 825 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
A brief description of the institution-catalyzed carbon offsets program:
n/a
A brief description of the carbon sequestration program and reporting protocol used:
n/a
A brief description of the composting and carbon storage program:
n/a
A brief description of the purchased carbon offsets, including third party verifier(s) and contract timeframes:
Baylor purchases 825 metric tonnes of CO2 offsets for two of our LEED Silver NC buildings that were brokered through Amerex Energy Services. These credits account for about 70% of the power used.
Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”::
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Number of residential students | 5,289 | 5,149 |
Number of residential employees | 31 | 24 |
Number of in-patient hospital beds | 0 | 0 |
Full-time equivalent enrollment | 16,001 | 13,239 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 2,575 | 910 |
Full-time equivalent of distance education students | 18 | 0 |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | June 1, 2010 | May 31, 2013 |
Baseline Year | June 1, 2009 | May 31, 2010 |
A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
The baseline was adopted in FY 2009. The Performance Year is an average of 2010-2013 Scope 1 GHG Emissions.
Gross floor area of building space, performance year:
