Robust membership includes colleges, universities, consortiums and state systems Serving the Nation s Leading Institutions: 70% of the Top 20 Colleges* 75% of the Top 20 Universities* 33 Flagship State Universities 13 of the 14 Big 10 Institutions 9 of the 12 Ivy Plus Institutions 7 of 12 Selective Liberal Arts Colleges Sightlines is proud to announce that: 450 colleges and universities are Sightlines clients including over 325 ROPA members. 93% of ROPA members renewed in 2014 We have clients in 41 states, the District of Columbia and four Canadian provinces More than 100 new institutions became Sightlines since 2013 Sightlines advises state systems in: Alaska California Connecticut Hawaii Maine Massachusetts Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey Pennsylvania Texas West Virginia 2

3 Defining Champlain s Carbon Footprint Scope 1 Direct GHGs On-Campus Stationary Combustion (Natural Gas) Vehicle Fleet Fuel Refrigerants Scope 2 Upstream GHGs Purchased Electricity Scope 3 Indirect GHGs Faculty/Staff/ Student Commuting Directly Financed Air Travel Study Abroad Solid Waste Paper Transmission & Distribution Losses Increasingly Difficult to Control and/or Mitigate Emissions sources are only for institutionally owned facilities and does not include leased space like Spinner, Quarry Hill, Sears St., etc. 3

4 Distribution of GHGs by Scope and Source Challenging profile given lack of direct control over most GHGs sources Champlain s FY14 Emissions by Scope 1, Scope 1 Sources - MTCDE 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 23% Natural Gas Fleet Refrigerants Agriculture 47% 2,004 Scope 2 Sources - MTCDE 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 30% Purchased Electricity Scope 3 Sources 1,531 1, Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3 - MTCDE 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 Emissions totals are only for institutionally owned facilities and do not include leased space like Spinner, Quarry Hill, Sears St., etc. 4 Commuting Travel Paper Purchases T&D Losses

6 % Change Change in GHGs Relative to Campus Growth Champlain s performance quite impressive in context of growth 50% Change in Emissions vs. Change in Campus Size and Population Indexed to FY % 30% 20% 10% 0% FY2004 FY2005 FY2006 FY2007 FY2008 FY2009 FY2010 FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY % -20% Gross Emissions Campus GSF Campus Population Emissions totals are only for institutionally owned facilities and do not include leased space like Spinner, Quarry Hill, Sears St., etc. 6

7 Peer institutions for Champlain Using the same peer group as FY2013 analysis Go-Green Peer Institutions Babson College Bentley University Boston College Carleton College Hamilton College Hampshire College Siena College University of Vermont Wesleyan University Peer Group Based On Size Technical Complexity Climate Zone 7

8 Two ways to benchmark against peers Per student and per 1k GSF normalization show emissions differently GHG Emissions per Student GHG Emissions per 1,000 GSF Stresses efficient use of space. Stresses intensity of operations and commuting. Gross GHG Emissions Total Student FTE Gross GHG Emissions Total GSF in Footprint X 1,000 8

17 17 Concluding Comments

18 Major Takeaways Energy Energy Represents Nearly 55% of all GHG Emissions at Champlain College. Residence Halls Represent 46% of Total Energy Usage Total Institutional Energy Use Has Flat Lined Since FY06 Despite a 37% Growth in Campus GSF This Highlights the Impact of Reinvestment into Existing Facilities and a Focus on Green Construction for New Buildings. Consumption Will Decrease Further as the Geothermal Plan is Implemented and Remaining Buildings are Renovated

19 Major Takeaways Transportation and Waste Transportation, Including Daily Commuting and Study Abroad Travel Represent the Majority of Remaining Emissions Campus Waste is Not a Significant Source of Emissions, but it s Still Important as This is Often the Most Tangible and Visible Indicator of Campus Sustainability Efforts Champlain College Generates More Waste Than Peer Institutions, but is Also Diverting More of This Waste to Recycling and Compost
