This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.

In the past 5 years, Lakehead has not performed a GHG emissions audit which includes all Scope 1 & Scope 2 GHG emission sources. Additionally Lakehead University has never performed a GHG emissions audit which includes any Scope 3 GHG emission sources.

In 2009 Lakehead contracted a company (Johnson Controls) to perform a GHG emissions audit.This audit does not qualify for STARS because; it is based off of data older than 5 years prior to the STARS submission date, the data was not third party verified and only Scope 1 & Scope 2 emission sources were considered (no Scope 3 emissions).

Annually since 2011 Lakehead has submitted a rudimentary GHG emissions inventory to the Province of Ontario under ONTARIO REGULATION 397/11 made under the GREEN ENERGY ACT, 2009. This submission does not qualify as a GHG emissions inventory as the data used has not been third party verified and only Scope 1 & Scope 2 emission sources were considered (no Scope 3 emissions).
