If total performance year carbon sinks are greater than zero, provide:
We purchase a portion of our energy through Recharge NY which utilizes renewable hydroelectric power in New York State. This is verified by NYPA, the New York Power Authority.
Adjusted net GHG emissions

Adjusted net GHG emissions | 19,797.70 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 26,002 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Performance and baseline periods
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Start date | Jan. 1, 2018 | Jan. 1, 2016 |
End date | Dec. 31, 2018 | Dec. 31, 2016 |
A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
We adopted the baseline year of 2016 while working with the New York City Office of Sustainability.
Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person
Weighted campus users
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Number of students resident on-site | 3,474 | 3,470 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 20 | 21 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 3 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 11,610 | 11,552 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 2,340 | 2,275 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 99 | 75 |
Weighted Campus Users | 11,264.75 | 11,186.75 |
Metrics used in scoring for Part 1
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user | 1.76 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 2.32 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
24.39
Part 2. GHG emissions per unit of floor area
Performance year floor area
2,480,105
Gross square feet
Floor area of energy intensive building space, performance year:
Floor area | |
Laboratory space | 13,807 Square feet |
Healthcare space | 33,829 Square feet |
Other energy intensive space | 0 Square feet |
EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
2,575,377
Gross square feet
Metric used in scoring for Part 2
0.01
MtCO2e per square foot
A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
We have enlisted an energy conservation consulting firm to help us reduce energy usage while the buildings are unoccupied. This strategy has been extremely successful and has led to energy savings in over $1.1 Million per year
