Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
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:
UMBC uses UNH's SIMAP platform (https://unhsimap.org/home).
UMBC's Second Nature Publicly Reported Emissions are available at: https://unhsimap.org/public/institution/1244
UMBC's Second Nature Publicly Reported Emissions are available at: https://unhsimap.org/public/institution/1244
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:
UMBC's GHG inventory is compiled and processed by the Office of Sustainability. Once the preliminary calculations and report are completed the data and the report is then reviewed and verified by the Campus Energy Manager. The Campus Energy Manager is in Facilities Management but is independent of the Office of Sustainability.

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
Business Travel - Based on tracking the airplane miles for flights sponsored by UMBC
Commuters-Based on tracking registered vehicles on campus and distances from zip codes
Waste- Based on tons collected by waste haulers
Other Sources (i.e. T&D losses)- based on SIMAP'S Emissions Factors
