A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Our baseline year is the fiscal year of 2005, which is when Evergreen's first detailed emissions inventory was performed.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 515 | 769 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 5 | 4 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 0 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 2,026 | 4,117 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 500 | 644 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 0 | 0 |
Weighted Campus Users | 2,024.50 | 3,764 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 2.05 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 3.71 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
Evergreen has actively reduced total energy consumption (electrical and natural gas) by roughly 15% from our base year through an extensive suite of energy conservation projects and practices.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
For Scope 2 emissions, Evergreen purchases Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) that account for all electricity consumed (minus small in-house solar generation) on both its Olympia and Tacoma campuses. The college's Scope 2 emissions are therefore considered to be 0 MT CO2e.
