Does the institution's GHG emissions inventory include all Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions?:
Does the institution's GHG emissions inventory include all Scope 3 GHG emissions from any of the following categories?:
| Yes or No | |
| Business travel | Yes |
| Commuting | Yes |
| Purchased goods and services | Yes |
| Capital goods | No |
| Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 | Yes |
| Waste generated in operations | Yes |
Does the institution's GHG emissions inventory include Scope 3 emissions from other categories?:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
Clean Air-Cool Planet Campus Carbon Calculator
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?:
A brief description of the internal and/or external verification process:
All data gathering and calculations to put together the GHG emissions inventory was done by a professional engineering firm regularly engaged in this type of work.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions::
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion | 3,855.30 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 4,948.50 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources | 229.20 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 308.10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity | 615.10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 469 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Scope 2 GHG emissions from other sources | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Figures needed to determine total carbon offsets::
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Carbon sequestration due to land that the institution manages specifically for sequestration | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Carbon storage from on-site composting | 106.60 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 106.60 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased | 6,025.80 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 6,025.80 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
A brief description of the institution-catalyzed carbon offsets program:
A brief description of the carbon sequestration program and reporting protocol used:
A brief description of the composting and carbon storage program:
Haverford College has a campus composting program in place to manage lawncare and landscaping waste as well as non-meat vegetative food wastes. Haverford estimates tonnage based on waste type and volume, and inputs results into the Campus Carbon Calculator to obtain offset figures in MTCO2e.
A brief description of the purchased carbon offsets, including third party verifier(s) and contract timeframes:
Green-e Certified Renewable Energy Credits are purchased from Community Energy, Inc. Contracts are purchased in 2 year blocks, each year comprising 14,000 MWh of electricity. Purchase contracts were in-place for the years 2010-2012 and 2012-2014.
Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”::
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Number of residential students | 1,188 | 1,177 |
| Number of residential employees | 83 | 77 |
| Number of in-patient hospital beds | 0 | 0 |
| Full-time equivalent enrollment | 1,205 | 1,177 |
| Full-time equivalent of employees | 456 | 491 |
| Full-time equivalent of distance education students | 0 | 0 |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | July 1, 2012 | June 30, 2013 |
| Baseline Year | July 1, 2010 | June 30, 2011 |
A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
The baseline year was adopted as the first year that a complete inventory was performed in accordance with ACUPCC requirements, and the year we were required to make our first inventory submittal under the ACUPCC program.
Gross floor area of building space, performance year:
Floor area of energy intensive building space, performance year:
| Floor Area | |
| Laboratory space | 187,752 Square feet |
| Healthcare space | 0 Square feet |
| Other energy intensive space | 0 Square feet |
