Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory

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:
Sustainability staff collected data from relevant information keepers across campus and entered into the used basic level SIMAP (Sustainability Indicator Management & Analysis Platform). https://unhsimap.org

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:
Sustainability staff compiled all of the Scope 1,2 and 3 data and entered it into the SIMAP Tracking System. The Campus Engineer then independently reviewed all the data sources, raw data calculations, and data entry to assure that the numbers are accurate.

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

Scope 1 GHG emissions
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
Weight in MTCO2e
Stationary combustion 11,833.46 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources (mobile combustion, process emissions, fugitive emissions) 3,950.06 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 1 GHG emissions, performance year:
15,783.52 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Scope 2 GHG emissions
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year (market-based):
Weight in MTCO2e
Imported electricity 10,246.67 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Imported thermal energy 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total gross Scope 2 GHG emissions, performance year:
10,246.67 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

GHG emissions from biomass combustion
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 265.34 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Commuting Yes 5,870.52 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Purchased goods and services Yes 27.32 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Capital goods --- 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 --- 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Waste generated in operations Yes 814.11 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Other sources No 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Total Scope 3 GHG emissions, performance year:
6,977.29 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
We tracked commuter, paper purchasing, solid waste (landfill), and wastewater on our 2021-22 greenhouse gas reporting. "Other Sources" is our transmission and distribution losses.

Sulfur oxides (SOx) 0 Tons
Carbon monoxide (CO) 0 Tons
Particulate matter (PM) 0 Tons
Ozone (O3) 0 Tons
Lead (Pb) ---
Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) ---
