Has the institution conducted a GHG emissions inventory within the previous three years that includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions? :
Yes
A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
FGCU's greenhouse gas report is prepared by Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU)’s Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) Department. It covers Fiscal Year 2017-2018 (July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018) or Academic Year 2017-18 (Summer A, B, & C 2017, Fall 2017, Spring 2018). EH&S cooperated with numerous departments and vendors to gather the needed information. We involved students throughout the process by offering service-learning hours and working with faculty members to integrate aspects of the reporting process into class projects. We used the University of New Hampshire (UNH)’s SIMAP.
Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
No

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
Commuting data was broken down into two sections; employee commuting and student commuting. The data was calculated using information compiled from the Parking Services Department, as well as Human Resources, and Business Technology Services Computing services.
Business Travel & Study Abroad was compiled from many sources: Procurement, University Advancement, Athletics Advancement, the International Services Office, the Lutgert College of Business, and the Office of Student Involvement provided the data necessary to calculate university-funded travel.
Paper: Our vendor, Office Depot, provided us with a report of all paper purchases during our reporting period in pounds of paper.
