A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Greenhouse emissions tracking was started by the College as part of its Green Plan Phase 1 initiative beginning with historical tracking in the fiscal year of 2006-07. This baseline formed the foundation against which the College's Green Plan I goals and subsequent green Plan 2 goals were set.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
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 | 31,557 | 27,318 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 1,453 | 1,000 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 13,028 | 0 |
Weighted Campus Users | 14,986.50 | 21,238.50 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 0.65 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0.55 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
0
