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:
We utilized the SIMAP platform.
Please note, per guidance, the Scope 2 emissions are market-based, meaning they are minus Green-e certified RECs.
Please note, per guidance, the Scope 2 emissions are market-based, meaning they are minus Green-e certified RECs.
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?:
Yes
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
We worked with a consulting organization to review and validate our inventory process. Their memo is attached.
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
We calculate Scope 3 the following ways:
Commuting - Survey of students and employees.
Business Air Travel - From finance reporting.
Other fuel and energy - Lifecycle emissions related to electricity
Other sources - Study Abroad mileage, Potable Water and Wastewater
Waste - Travel and landfill emissions
