Has the institution conducted a GHG emissions inventory within the previous three years that includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions? :
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:
SIMAP

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?:
No

A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
---

Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
---

Scope 1 GHG emissions
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
Weight in MTCO2e
Stationary combustion 57,318 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions) 10,813 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
68,131 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Scope 2 GHG emissions
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year (market-based):
Weight in MTCO2e
Imported electricity 81,439.85 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Imported thermal energy 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:
81,439.85 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Gross GHG emissions from biogenic sources, performance year:
0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Scope 3 GHG emissions
Does the GHG emissions inventory include Scope 3 emissions from the following sources?:
Yes or No Weight in MTCO2e
Business travel Yes 1,881.92 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Commuting No ---
Purchased goods and services No ---
Capital goods No ---

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
Current recorded Scope 3 emissions include directly financed outsourced travel (broken into air, public bus, train, and personal mileage reimbursement categories); electricity, steam, and chilled water transmission and delivery losses (which equal 0); and landfilled waste without methane recovery.

Part 2. Air pollutant emissions inventory

Has the institution completed an inventory within the previous three years to quantify its air pollutant emissions?:
Yes

Annual weight of emissions for::
Weight of Emissions
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) 62.10 Metric tons
Sulfur oxides (SOx) 0 Metric tons
Carbon monoxide (CO) 38.43 Metric tons
Particulate matter (PM) 0.41 Metric tons
Ozone (O3) 0 Metric tons
Lead (Pb) 0 Metric tons
