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:
Natural Gas, gasoline, and Electricity bills are analyzed and totaled for consumption. Standard EPA (electricity and gasoline) and EIA (natural gas) coefficients are supplied to totals to estimate MTCDe for each energy source
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

Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
We have developed a methodology to estimate annual VMT based on zip codes of permit holders, number of spaces on campus and approximate turnover rate. It is assume that all vehicles are gasoline powered and that the average mileage is 22 mpg.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) | 59.87 Metric tons |
Sulfur oxides (SOx) | 10.25 Metric tons |
Carbon monoxide (CO) | 284.22 Metric tons |
Particulate matter (PM) | 1.32 Metric tons |
Ozone (O3) | --- |
Lead (Pb) | --- |
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) | --- |
Ozone-depleting compounds (ODCs) | --- |
Other standard categories of air emissions identified in permits and/or regulations | --- |
Do the air pollutant emissions figures provided include the following sources?:
Yes or No | |
Major stationary sources | Yes |
Area sources | No |
Mobile sources | Yes |
Commuting | Yes |
Off-site electricity production | Yes |
None
A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
Commuting: Assume average age of automobile is 12 years old
Stationary Combustion: Used ASHRAE standards for boilers applied to all NG combustion
Stationary Combustion: Used ASHRAE standards for boilers applied to all NG combustion
