A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
UNCP’s baseline GHG inventory is fiscal year 2013 (FY2013) and this report also includes FY2014 as performance year. This baseline includes campus-wide emissions during each reporting period, as required by ACUPCC signatories, which includes accounting of the six GHGs covered under the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, and perfluorocarbons and Sulphur hexafluoride.
Development of the baseline GHG emissions inventory follows international consensus GHG accounting protocols developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in conjunction with the Clean Air – Cool Planet Campus Carbon Calculator (CA-CP) (v7.0). The CA-CP is the primary and recommended tool used by institutions participating in the ACUPCC. The organizational boundary of UNCP includes emissions sources that are under its operational control.
None
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
None
A brief description of the internal and/or external verification process:
GHG emissions inventories are calculated by the Sustainability Office, with data input from several departments and offices across campus in addition to a commuting survey to all campus stuents and employees. The final inventories are then reviewed and endorsed by the campus' Sustainability Council, which includes representation of all campus populations (students, staff, faculty and administrators). Before public release, it is then reviewed by the Chancellor's Cabinet. Once released, inventories are posted on the campus' website and the ACUPCC Reporting website.

None
A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
Baseline GHG emissions inventory was calculated in order to track progress towards reduction goals. This supports the campus' Sustainability Policy, Strategic Sustainability Plan, ACUPCC and Appalachian Energy Summit commitments. FY2013 was selected for the baseline because the Sustainability Office was established in February 2014 and FY2013 data was the most recent available data.

| Business travel | 750.10 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Commuting | 6,018.60 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Purchased goods and services | --- |
| Capital goods | --- |
| Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 | 726.50 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Waste generated in operations | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
| Other categories (please specify below) | 25.30 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
None
A brief description of the sources included in Scope 3 GHG emissions from "other categories":
Other represents paper consumption (purchases).
The fuel and energy-related activities above represents scope 2 T&D.
Waste generated is a credit as the local landfill converts 100% of methane produced into electricity, but represented as 0, since this database will not allow negative entries; technically the actual amount is (29.8) for the performance year, FY2014.
