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

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).


Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:

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

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 unit of EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
0.00 MtCO2e per square foot
