Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
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:
Pratt reports to NYC for local law 84.This is annual for energy & water. We use LL 84 and Portfolio Mgr.to calculate Scope 1, 2 and solid waste GHG. Commuting GHG are estimates using cars in our parking lots, size of cars and a estimate of miles traveled and mpg. Business air travel is based on an estimate of air miles travelled and approx dollars spent on travel.
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 GHG inventory verification process:
The data is reviewed by our consulting engineer, Guth DeConzo Engineers
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
Scope 1 GHG emissions
Weight in MTCO2e | |
Stationary combustion | 7,465.10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions) | 48 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Total gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
Scope 2 GHG emissions
Weight in MTCO2e | |
Imported electricity | 6,087.20 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Imported thermal energy | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:
GHG emissions from biomass combustion
Scope 3 GHG emissions
Yes or No | Weight in MTCO2e | |
Business travel | Yes | 165 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Commuting | Yes | 267 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Purchased goods and services | Yes | 1,660 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Capital goods | Yes | 1,660 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 | Yes | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Waste generated in operations | Yes | 2,022 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Other sources | Yes | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Total Scope 3 GHG emissions, performance year:
A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
Scope 3 emissions are calculated as follows: Solid Waste - data using NYC LL 84 EPA Portfolio Mgr. Business travel - approximate miles traveled and GHG generated Commuting - approx. number of miles traveled and approximate fuel use per mile. Purchased Goods based on dollar spend approx$5MM/year and WRI estimate based on annual spend. Capital Goods ditto.
Part 2. Air pollutant emissions inventory
Annual weight of emissions for::
Weight of Emissions | |
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) | 3.67 Tons |
Sulfur oxides (SOx) | 2.20 Tons |
Carbon monoxide (CO) | 5.73 Tons |
Particulate matter (PM) | 0.07 Tons |
Ozone (O3) | --- |
Lead (Pb) | --- |
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) | --- |
Ozone-depleting compounds (ODCs) | --- |
Other standard categories of air emissions identified in permits and/or regulations | --- |
Do the air pollutant emissions figures provided include the following sources?:
Yes or No | |
Major stationary sources | Yes |
Area sources | No |
Mobile sources | Yes |
Commuting | No |
Off-site electricity production | No |
I used all the fuel we used in boilers for major stationary and all the fuel used in our small fleet. I used the emissions coefficients from the EPA.
