AASHE STARS Score
These credits recognize institutions that conduct detailed inventories of their greenhouse gas emissions and work to reduce them. SF State conducts regular inventories and has a relatively low greenhouse gas footprint due to its mild climate and sustainable commute patterns. Though SF State has reduced emissions through efficiency projects and cleaner power, we have not earned points for emissions reductions through offsets.
