Gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion	8,481 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	11,651 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	1,708 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	876 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported electricity	60,377 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent Date Revised: Sept. 16, 2022 University of Miami requested that AASHE Staff correct a mistake in this reporting field for the reason specified below. Previous Value: 89035 Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent Explanation: We received the RECs retired from 2021 in May 2022, after having submitted our STARS application. We wanted to make sure we included the RECs retroactively to reflect the true CO2e emission tonnage. The new SIMAP report reflects the changes in scope 2 emissions after entering the RECs retired from 2021. https://miamiedu-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/txl170_miami_edu/ETSE4-vVsghAnE3F0semhs4BRlSgci0tpgUqWxDj6es7xg	115,284 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported thermal energy	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Total	70,566 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	127,811 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Figures needed to determine net carbon sinks:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Carbon storage from on-site composting	116 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Carbon storage from non-additional sequestration	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	---
Carbon sold or transferred	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Net carbon sinks	116 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

A brief description of the carbon sinks, including vendor, project source, verification program and contract timeframes (as applicable):
Adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Adjusted net GHG emissions	70,450 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	127,811 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

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

	Performance year	Baseline year
Start date	June 1, 2020	June 1, 2006
End date	May 30, 2021	May 30, 2007

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:

	Performance year	Baseline year
Number of students resident on-site	3,692	4,250
Number of employees resident on-site	21	0
Number of other individuals resident on-site	20	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	17,162	14,167
Full-time equivalent of employees	10,289	9,506
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	482	0
Weighted Campus Users	21,175	18,817.25

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	3.33 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	6.79 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

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