Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
Yes
A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
SIMAP (Sustainability Indicator Management & Analysis Platform) is used for GHG emissions inventory. SIMAP is an online version of the Campus Carbon Calculator maintained and updated by the University of New Hampshire. Scopes 1 and 2 data are collected through utility and fuel billing. Scope 3, with the exception of waste disposal, is largely estimated based on a previously conducted survey.
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?:
Yes
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
Energy usage data can be verified by utility bills. Waste collection and recycling materials are weighed by a certified truck scale. Air travel emissions are calculated based on tickets purchased through campus air travel agent. Campus commute emissions are estimated based on past surveys.
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
