A brief description of the carbon sinks, including vendor, project source, verification program and contract timeframes (as applicable):

Not applicable

Adjusted net GHG emissions

Adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Adjusted net GHG emissions	1,136.65 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	1,136.65 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Performance and baseline periods

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Performance year	Baseline year
Start date	July 1, 2022	July 1, 2022
End date	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2023

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:

Robina Campus is a newly built campus and became operational in July 2022. As a result, we are currently collecting baseline data for the first year of full operations 1 July 2022 - 30 June 2023. As we have only been operational for one full financial year, the baseline year and the performance year use the same data.

Part 1. Reduction in GHG emissions per person

Weighted campus users

Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Number of students resident on-site	0	0
Number of employees resident on-site	0	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	1,608	1,608
Full-time equivalent of employees	101	101
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	0	0
Weighted Campus Users	1,281.75	1,281.75

Metrics used in scoring for Part 1

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user	0.89 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0.89 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:

Part 2. GHG emissions per unit of floor area

Performance year floor area

Gross floor area of building space, performance year:

8,055 Gross square meters

Floor area of energy intensive building space, performance year:

	Floor area
Laboratory space	0 Square meters
Healthcare space	0 Square meters
Other energy intensive space	1,555 Square meters

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:

9,610 Gross square meters

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:

0.12 MtCO2e per square meter

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:

Utilising the Building Management system to adjust mechanical Variable Speed Drive (VSD), isolating mechanical operation by room against usage. Lighting controls through automated ZEN software to reduce lighting levels and usage. 99kW Solar System offsetting imported energy through energy production to the building and returning energy to the grid.

Statistics on usage and monthly tracking of current performance against sustainability targets are being monitored using a Building Management System (BMS) with a comprehensive Bi report tracking progress. The BMS has significant capabilities including separate metering lighting general power and mechanical services. The lighting system interfaces with the BMS and controls the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). The Bi report produces visuals that can be used to connect to the community using factors such as trees planted.
