Adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions:
Performance year Baseline year
Adjusted net GHG emissions 5,241 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 4,293 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
Performance year Baseline year
Start date Jan. 1, 2022 Jan. 1, 1991
End date Dec. 31, 2022 Dec. 31, 1991

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:

Greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for CSU campuses are currently based on percentage reduction from 1990 levels per AB32, California's Global Warming Solutions Act. As institutional data for weighted campus users is not available for 1990, Stanislaus State adopted baseline year for 1991.


Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:
Performance year Baseline year
Number of students resident on-site 605 310
Number of employees resident on-site 2 1
Number of other individuals resident on-site 0 0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment 7,758 4,091.30
Full-time equivalent of employees 1,137 549
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education 1,216.90 0
Weighted Campus Users 5,910.33 3,557.98

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user:
Performance year Baseline year
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user 0.89 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent 1.21 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
26.51

Gross floor area of building space, performance year:
1,350,718 Gross square feet

Floor area of energy intensive building space, performance year:
Floor area
Laboratory space 52,616 Square feet
Healthcare space 4,746 Square feet
Other energy intensive space 44,400 Square feet

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
1,509,842 Gross square feet

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
0.00 MtCO2e per square foot

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:

· Completed replacement of outdoor HPS lights with LED at all parking lots and streets
· Installed 500 kW Photo-Voltaic system on the roof of Student Center building
