Notes:
- na: not applicable.
- * Number restated from FY 2008 report due to additional information or updated estimation methodology.
- 1 USPS facilities range in size from 83 square feet to 46.5 acres under one roof, and support retail, delivery, mail processing, maintenance, administrative and support activities.
- 2 Facility energy consumption estimates include both Goal-Subject and Goal-Excluded facilities (per EPAct 2005 and EO 13423) and both designated Covered Facilities (per EISA 2007) as well as non-designated. Between FY 2008 and FY 2009, significant improvements were made in actual data collected and corresponding energy use estimate. Therefore, FY 2009 is not comparable to FY 2008 and prior periods.
- 3 Alternative fuels include biodiesel, CNG, E-85, electricity and propane.
- 4 USPS CY 2008 reported emissions were calculated according to the Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol. CY 2007 were calculated according to CCAR.
- 5 USPS CY 2008 Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions are third-party verified.
- 6 USPS CY 2008 Scope 3 GHG emissions represent our estimate from contract transport and are not third-party verified.
