2.21 / 3.00 |
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:
Methodology used was in accordance with Federal Guidelines. The attached spreadsheet is the inventory for the 2018/2019 fiscal year.
Scope 3 was not reported.
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 inventory was completed by UNB's Energy Coordinator. Upon completion, it was verified internally by the Director of Facilities Management.
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
| Weight in MTCO2e | |

| Other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions) | 0 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 | 2,363 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Imported thermal energy | 2,774 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:

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) | 0.15 Tons |
| Sulfur oxides (SOx) | 0.01 Tons |
| Carbon monoxide (CO) | 0.14 Tons |
| Particulate matter (PM) | 0.01 Tons |
| Ozone (O3) | 0 Tons |
| Lead (Pb) | 0.00 Tons |
| Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) | 0.00 Tons |
| Ozone-depleting compounds (ODCs) | 0 Tons |
| Other standard categories of air emissions identified in permits and/or regulations | 0 Tons |
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 |
A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
These totals were calculated using emission factors from both the EPA and NRCAN. This inventory includes emissions from on-site diesel generators, fleet vehicles and natural gas.
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity (location-based):
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from imported thermal energy (location-based) :

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UNBSJ does not have much stationary combustion. The majority of the of our energy is purchased from Horizon Health and thus falls under scope 2 emissions.
