A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Baseline was adopted in 2012 as the Energy Baseline as that was the year that a new Energy Program with new staff positions was adopted at Carleton University. New energy data started being collected and new programs and goals were established.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 3,610 | 3,600 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 25,019 | 22,411 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 2,449 | 1,947 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 0 | 0 |
Weighted Campus Users | 21,503.50 | 19,168.50 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 0.98 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 1.37 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
28.28
Part 2. GHG emissions per unit of floor area

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
Carleton University has made commitments to reduce energy use by 1% each year, with a revision recently made to reduce by 2% each year, based on the success of early strategies. As well, the development of the Energy Master Plan outlines how Carleton plans to execute cross-campus measures, such as energy retrofits on an increasing number of buildings and the optimization of lighting, building controls and other recommissioning projects.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Energy Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) Plans Regulation (O. Reg. 397/11) came into force January 1, 2012 requiring public agencies and Universities to report their annual energy use and GHG emissions to the Ministry of Energy.
The regulation also requires public agencies to develop five-year energy conservation and demand management (CDM) plans by July 1, 2014. These annual energy reports and five-year energy CDM plans will be publically available on their websites and in hard copy.
