Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
While Virginia Tech strives to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, a 14.6% growth in campus size relative to the 2005 baseline year has resulted in negative progress for this credit relative to 2005. In addition, Virginia Tech's purchased electricity is heavily coal-based.
