1.2 Describe your business activities

*
Cushing Terrell was founded on the belief that integrating architecture, engineering, and design opened the doors for deepened relationships and enhanced creativity: that belief was the beginning of our design practice and still defines us today. Driven by empathy, our multidisciplinary teams work together to design systems and spaces that help people live their best lives, achieve their visions, and enjoy healthy, sustainable built environments. Our projects include schools, hospitals and clinics; single- and multi-family residences; and recreational, commercial, retail, and industrial developments. Our services include architecture; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, civil, and environmental engineering; planning; landscape architecture; interior design; sustainability and energy services, and many more.

2022

2.2 Near-term target

*

50% of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2022

2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.

*
Cushing Terrell is committed to implementing actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with our business operations. Additionally, a critical element of our services is to help other organizations achieve their own decarbonization goals. Cushing Terrell defines its organizational boundary for Scope 1 and 2 to facilities with which the organization exercises operational control or facilities Cushing Terrell has full authority to implement operating policies. We have not yet set Scope 3 emission reduction targets due to pending industry guidance.

Own Emissions *

3.1 To reduce emissions in line with my commitment, my company has a plan and is taking action

*
Yes

Energy consumption

3.2 Total energy consumption

*
542742 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

*
16971 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

*
167.7 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

*
266 metric tons CO2e

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

*
We are continuously developing our decarbonization roadmap to determine the major activities and opportunities that exist now and into the future. Our decarbonization roadmap includes an inventory of our owned vehicles and the equipment and systems in our owned-facilities with recommendations for replacement at end of life. Additionally, we\\\'ve evaluated the impacts of solar installations to achieve our 50% reduction target.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*
Calculations were performed according to GHG Protocol Guidance utilizing data from the EPA, egrid, 2022. Electricity and fuel consumption were recorded directly from utility bills over the reporting period. For owned vehicle emissions, estimated city and highway miles per gallon were sourced for each company vehicle. Using total mileage for each vehicle during the year, an estimation of 75% was allocated to highway travel. With these consumption rates, a total of gallons of gasoline were accounted for each vehicle.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

*
Yes

4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions

*
660024 metric tons CO2e

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

4.1.2 Purchased goods and services

*
720 metric tons CO2e

4.1.3 Capital goods

*
28 metric tons CO2e

4.1.7 Business travel

*
520 metric tons CO2e

4.1.8 Employee commuting

*
382 metric tons CO2e

4.1.9 Leased assets (upstream)

*
312.5 metric tons CO2e

Customer related - downstream emissions

4.1.10 Transportation and distribution (downstream)

*
182 metric tons CO2e

4.1.12 Use of sold products

*
657880 metric tons CO2e

4.1.17 Do you have a plan and are taking action to reduce emissions from your value chain?

*

Yes

We are working with a number of organizations dedicated to reducing emissions throughout the value chain such as AIA2030, MEP2040, and The Carbon Impact Material Bank. Additionally, we are working to increase awareness of low carbon alternatives, in particular, embodied carbon. Using mechanisms such as specifying EPDs into designs and advancing low embodied carbon design solutions.

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?

*
No

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?

*
Yes

4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.

*
Calculations for Scope 3 were performed according to GHG Protocol Guidance for Scope 3 utilizing the USEEIO emissions factor library. Upstream leased assets were accounted for with location-based calculations using utility bills where available, or a ratio of the leased space against the entire building when separate metering data was not available. Emissions for business travel were vendor supplied. A survey was conducted for employee commuting data and estimations were made to extrapolate the data to account for the firm in its entirety. Use of sold products is lacking standard guidance for the A&E industry but has been prepared with SBTIs preliminary guidance for the Building Sector.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*

Limited control over energy use in buildings,Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Complexities in managing supply chain emissions
