A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Data from FY 17-18 was the most thoroughly collected and completed and was utilized in the campus Climate Action and Resiliance Plan 2.0, published in late 2020.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 1,882 | 2,027 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 71 | 65 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 14,231 | 14,897 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 1,460 | 1,454 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 0 | 0 |
Weighted Campus Users | 12,256.50 | 12,786.25 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 0.78 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 2.04 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
61.66
Part 2. GHG emissions per unit of floor area
Performance year floor area
