Institution supports alternative fuel and power technology by including vehicles in its motorized fleet that are:

  1. Gasoline-electric hybrid,

  2. Diesel-electric hybrid,

  3. Plug-in hybrid,

  4. 100 percent electric (including electric assist utility bicycles and tricycles),

  5. Fueled with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),

  6. Hydrogen fueled,

  7. Fueled with B20 or higher biofuel for more than 4 months of the year, OR

  8. Fueled with locally produced, low-level (e.g., B5) biofuel for more than 4 months of the year (e.g., fuel contains cooking oil recovered and recycled on campus or in the local community)

Vehicles that meet multiple criteria (e.g. hybrid vehicles fueled with biofuel) should not be double-counted.


Applicability

This credit applies to all institutions that have a motorized vehicle fleet. 


Scoring

An institution earns the maximum of 1 point available for this credit when all vehicles in its fleet are alternatively fueled or powered. Incremental points are awarded based on the percentage of vehicles that meet the criteria. For example, an institution for which gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles comprise 50 percent of the total fleet would earn 0.5 points (half of the points available for this credit).

Points for this credit are calculated automatically in the STARS Reporting Tool as follows:
