Adjusted net GHG emissions

Adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions:
Performance year Baseline year
Adjusted net GHG emissions 7,370.50 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 11,453.53 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Performance and baseline periods

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
Performance year Baseline year
Start date Jan. 1, 2019 Jan. 1, 2015
End date Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2015

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Our main facility opened completely in 2012. Many of the design set-backs were implemented by July 2014. Employee and Student data is from IPED and is for the period September 1 through August 30. The data for vehicle emissions is from April 1 though March 30 to coincide with the NY Executive Order 4 Report parameters. (Vehicle logs are not available for April 2014 through March 2015).

Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person

Weighted campus users

Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:
Performance year Baseline year
Number of students resident on-site 0 0
Number of employees resident on-site 0 0
Number of other individuals resident on-site 0 0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment 12,824 11,923
Full-time equivalent of employees 1,604 1,486
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education 1,063 1,254
Weighted Campus Users 10,023.75 9,116.25

Metrics used in scoring for Part 1

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user:
Performance year Baseline year
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user 0.74 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 1.26 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
41.47

Part 2. GHG emissions per unit of floor area

Performance year floor area

Gross floor area of building space, performance year:
1,461,292 Gross square feet

Floor area of energy intensive building space, performance year:
Floor area
Laboratory space 43,534 Square feet
Healthcare space 0 Square feet
Other energy intensive space 4,396 Square feet

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
1,552,756 Gross square feet

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
0.00 MtCO2e per square foot

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
GHG emissions are based on calendar year.
Student and employee occupancy is based on IPED data July 1-June 30.
Vehicle Fleet data is based on the time period April 1-March 30 to correspond to the time frame in the NY Executive Order 4 report.
