• Credit Info

Has the institution conducted a GHG emissions inventory within the previous three years that includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions? :
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:
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:
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:

	Weight in MTCO2e
Stationary combustion	45,056 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions)	1,392 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year (market-based):

	Weight in MTCO2e
Imported electricity	99,221 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Imported thermal energy	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:
Gross GHG emissions from biogenic sources, performance year:
Does the GHG emissions inventory include Scope 3 emissions from the following sources?:

	Yes or No	Weight in MTCO2e
Business travel	Yes	19,923 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent Date Revised: March 3, 2023 University of Colorado Boulder requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 192923 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent Explanation: A data entry error in our Sept. 22, 2021 STARS submittal's OP-1 Business Travel credit. Indeed, the Second Nature Reporting Platform documentation attached to OP-1 indicates Business Travel emissions of 19,923 MTCO2e for the reporting year. However, the value indicated in OP-1's reporting field for Business Travel is 192,923 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent The correct value as indicated in the SN data sheet attached to our report is 19,923 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent.
Commuting	Yes	10,254 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Purchased goods and services	No	---
Capital goods	No	---
Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2	No	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Waste generated in operations	Yes	848 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources	No	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:
Has the institution completed an inventory within the previous three years to quantify its air pollutant emissions?:
Annual weight of emissions for::

	Weight of Emissions
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)	53.99 Metric tons

Particulate matter (PM)	2.45 Metric tons
Ozone (O3)	---
Lead (Pb)	---
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)	0 Metric tons
