"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

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:

AnnualReport2019_2.csv

A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:

SIMAP reporting tool

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:

Warren Wilson's Vice President for Academic Affairs, who is a scientist, has verified that the data collected campus wide has been entered accurately into the SIMAP reporting tool. He also approves changing the baseline year. In addition, we have received an independent inventory review from SIMAP They have approved our inventory and it is attached to this form.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Data for preparation of the GHG inventory was gathered from managers campus wide. Warren Wilson College set a goal of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2020 from 2007-2008 emission levels. Reaching this goal included the purchase of carbon offsets. We have discontinued that practice and our current focus is to improve the actual carbon footprint of our campus and its operations. An inventory of our emissions has been conducted every year until 2014. Because we no longer purchase carbon offsets for our on-site purchased electricity use, we have adjusted our baseline to 2014, a year we purchased no offsets. In addition, we must update our Climate Action Plan with ACUPCC in 2020 and this update will reflect the baseline change. The only major difference between the baseline measurements and the current emissions measurement is that in the new baseline year, 2013-2014, commuting travel and international travel were estimated. Until we conduct a new survey, this estimated commuter travel data will continue to be used. SIMAP has conducted an external audit and approved of our greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
