Washington University Carbon Footprint On Campus Energy Use Carbon Impact Students Heating Cooling Appliances Faculty/Staff Transportation Carbon Impact Commuting Air Travel University Fleet

Danforth Campus Population The population is driven by student population From the population has fluctuated with one decade of decline and one decade of growth. Overall there has been a 10% increase in student population

University Expenditures Expenditures adjusted for inflation include: Instruction, Research, Academic, Student and Institutional support, Scholarships/Fellowships, and Operation and Maintenance of Physical Plant University Expenditures increased by 70% between ; Research expenditures increased by 100% over the same time period. Expenditures are a measure of prosperity since the University cannot spend money that it doesn’t have. 60% increase 70% increase

Danforth Campus Fuel and Electric Energy Consumption The purchased electricity is about 1/3 of total expended energy need to produce that electricity. 10% is lost through line transmission. 2/3 of the energy produced is lost as heat (Waste Energy). For this analysis we will use the total produced energy (black line) when comparing electricity to other on campus energy sources. Purchased electricity increased 90% between Fuel used: coal, oil and natural gas. Stationary sources are the on campus fuel used for heating and hot water generation. In 1993, the University made several upgrades: –Switched from coal to natural gas –Switched to electric chillers –Shut off steam plant from May-October

Causality Framework for University Carbon Footprint - Buildings Each fuel has Carbon/BTU ratio The overall carbon emission for on campus energy consumption has increased 50% from Population Students Activities $ Expend./yr Buildings Sq.

Causality Framework for University Carbon Footprint - Transportation Overall Transportation emissions have stayed constant The student commuters’ emissions have dropped because more students are living closer to campus The faculty/staff emissions are increasing as people are living farther away due to housing availability/costs Population People Transportation Miles Fuel Cons.

Carbon Emission – University Carbon Emissions have increased almost 60% from 1990 to Electricity is the main component of emissions

Carbon Emission Summary – Energy Use on Campus

Total Emission Comparison between Universities For Wash. U. Emissions include on campus fuel burned, purchased electricity and transportation for faculty/staff/student commuting (permit/all) and university fleet

Transportation Emission Comparison between Universities Transportation includes airline emission for study abroad and athletic travel, commuters and university fleet. Wash. U. Transportation Emission estimate is a range. The lower bound is the carbon number for only those students, faculty and staff who purchased parking passes. The upper bound is the carbon number for all students, faculty and staff and assumes that they drive every day. This only includes people with valid zip code given.
