Summer updates from the SIMAP team

We added new features to the SIMAP Public Reporting Module. Sign up for new courses for the UNH Carbon Footprinting Certificate. We are launching the UNH Carbon Clinic this fall.

Public Reporting: New features

Since the launch of the SIMAP Public Reporting Module in partnership with Second Nature earlier this year, over 130 institutions have reported their results. We have also added new features:

Customize your institution's public page with your logo, a photo banner, and a text description on the Goals page (see UNH's example below)
Tier 2 only: Report your results by campus
Coming soon: New summary graph and alerts when you edit your activity data to ensure consistency with public reporting

Public Reporting Guidance

There are 3 options for publicly reporting your data in SIMAP, and we are here to help.

Report the data yourself. For more information, check out the Public Reporting Guidance and the FAQs to see how easy it is!
Schedule a guided tour with Steve Muzzy from Second Nature using this link, or with the SIMAP team (contact us at simap@unh.edu).
Let us publish your data for you! Contact Second Nature (reporting@secondnature.org) or SIMAP (simap@unh.edu) to let us know that we can publicly report the data in your SIMAP account.

Currently, the Public Reporting Module is available for use by signatories to the Carbon and Climate Commitments. Signatories have complimentary licenses to use that part of the SIMAP site in lieu of the Second Nature Reporting Platform (which is being discontinued). Later this year, we will make licenses for the Public Reporting Module available to all SIMAP users.

Register for new courses for the UNH Carbon Footprinting Certificate

We have added new sections and brand new courses for the UNH Carbon Footprinting Certificate! You can take the half-day virtual courses individually or as part of the certificate. The courses are taught by SIMAP team members Jenn Andrews and Dr. Alley Leach.
