Criteria
Institution supports alternative fuel and power technology by including in its motorized vehicle fleet vehicles that are:
A. Gasoline-electric hybrid
B. Diesel-electric hybrid
C. Plug-in hybrid
D. 100 percent electric
E. Fueled with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
F. Hydrogen fueled
G. Fueled with B20 or higher biofuel for more than 4 months of the year
And/or
H. Fueled with locally produced, low-level (e.g. B5) biofuel for more than 4 months of the year (e.g. fuel contains cooking oil recovered and recycled on campus or in the local community)
For this credit, the institution’s motorized fleet includes all cars, carts, trucks, tractors, buses and similar vehicles used for transporting people and/or goods, including both leased vehicles and vehicles that are institution-owned and operated. Heavy construction equipment (e.g. excavators and pavers), maintenance equipment (e.g. lawn-mowers and leaf blowers), and demonstration/test vehicles used for educational purposes are not included in this credit.
Vehicles that meet multiple criteria (e.g. hybrid vehicles fueled with biofuel) should not be double-counted.
Applicability
This credit applies to all institutions that have a motorized vehicle fleet.
Scoring
Institutions earn the maximum of 1 point available for this credit when all vehicles in their fleets are alternatively fueled and/or powered. Incremental points are awarded for using alternative fuels in some vehicles and/or having some alternatively powered vehicles. For example, an institution for which gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles comprise 50 percent of the total fleet would earn 0.5 points (half of the points available for this credit).
See a scoring table in the STARS Technical Manual.
