3. Cal Poly Pomona Located ~35 miles East of Los Angeles near the foothills of San Gabriel Mountains Situated on 1,438 acres with over 4 million GSF of building space Over 20,000 students (~17,000 FTE) and 2,300 faculty & staff Commuter campus, only 3,000 students live on campus

4. Campus Climate Commitment Charter Signatories: President Ortiz signs American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (Feb. 2007) Climate Commitment Obligations: Create institutional structure to guide process ✓ Complete GHG emissions inventory ✓ Develop Institutional Plan for climate neutrality (in progress) Initiate two or more of the commitment’s tangible actions: ✓ Establish a policy that all new construction will be built to at least LEED Silver Adopt energy-efficient appliance purchasing policy requiring purchase of Energy Star certified products Purchase or produce at least 15% of institutions electrical consumption from renewable resources

5. Cal Poly Emissions Inventory Model: Clean Air-Cool Planet Campus Climate Action Toolkit Campus Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Calculator Consistent with standards of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Based on workbooks by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for national inventories. Source:http://www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/toolkit/content/view/146/132

7. Inventory Process Research Teams established of RS599 Graduate Students Sources of Campus Emissions Researched Energy (Consumption by Source) Transportation (Commuter & Fleet) Solid Waste Refrigerants Agriculture Data collected for 10-year Period (1995-2005), and input into calculator. Team of Three Graduate Research Assistants clarified study boundaries, refined Data, completed inventory report with recommendations for improvements. Scopes Reported: Scope 1, 2 and recommended data from scope 3 Verification: Draft reviewed by Climate Change Task Force prior to release.

10. Inventory Results

11. Emissions per student dropped from 3.78 MTCDE in 1995 to 3.63 MTCDE in 2005. The emissions increase follows an increase in growth on campus. The full time student population grew by 26% from 12,933 in 1995 to 16,295 in 2005. Building square footage increased 39% from 2,604,605 in 1995 to 3,628,670 in 2005

12. Energy GHG gases: Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) from fossil fuels and Methane (CH 4 ) from natural gas. GHG gases: Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) from fossil fuels and Methane (CH 4 ) from natural gas. Data Collection Data Collection Inventoried purchased electricity and on campus stationary sources (natural gas) Inventoried purchased electricity and on campus stationary sources (natural gas) Total KWH Electricity and MMBtu Natural Gas from billing records. Verified with George Lwin, Total KWH Electricity and MMBtu Natural Gas from billing records. Verified with George Lwin, Contacted electricity vendor to get fuel mix. Contacted electricity vendor to get fuel mix. Key Finding: Second largest source of GHG emissions. Key Finding: Second largest source of GHG emissions. Comments: Energy consumption per person has decreased slightly, although total energy use has increased. Comments: Energy consumption per person has decreased slightly, although total energy use has increased.

13. Transportation GHG gases: Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Data Collection Inventoried commuter data, university fleet, and air travel for fuel sources, miles per trip, number of trips, and trips per day. Commuter data collected from Rideshare Office and Kaku & Associates report (2000). Report used to estimate unknown data. University Fleet data from EHS Air Travel was estimated Student population data from IRAP (Institutional Research Assessment & Planning) Key Finding: The largest source of GHG emissions Comments Most emissions due to student commuters 82% of students drive alone Carpooling more important than transit http://www.cityoftemecula.org/NR/rdonlyres/5A526FF8-6275- 4F85-B9B3-DD6F084FFC76/0/carpools.jpg

14. Transportation: Components of GHG Emissions Student Commuters: 70.5% Faculty/Staff Commuters: 15.3% Air Travel: 11.2% Fleet: 3%

15. Solid Waste GHG gases: Methane (CH4) Decomposition of solid waste: Green waste, food waste, paper, demo/Construction debris, packaging, hazardous and e-waste. Data Collection Inventoried solid waste (excluding diverted waste). Data available from 2001-2005 from campus facilities. Estimated 1996-2000 Data provided by the Recycling Coordinator and verified by California Waste Management Board (CWMB) website data. Key Finding: Small percentage of campus emissions Comments Does not account for transportation of waste. Spadra accepted free dumping until 2001 http://www.lacsd.org/about/solid_waste_facilities/spa dra/default.asp

16. Refrigerants GHG gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons (HFC, HCFC, PFC) Refrigerant gases are known for having high GWP. Data Collection Emissions on campus from leaks. Inventory pounds used of all refrigerant gas used on campus Sources: EHS records to SCAQMD; Facilities Management inventory data; Foundation facilities. Key Finding: Small percentage of campus emissions. Comments: HCFC-22 Most common refrigerant on campus. (GWP 1,700 years relative to CO 2 ) Estimates based on facilities inventory records Inconsistencies in records. Some gases w/ high GWP have higher operating efficiency rates. http://www.ghc.de/img/main_e/foto_kaeltemittel.jpg

17. Agriculture GHG gases: Methane (CH 4 ) animal sources and Nitrous Oxide (N 2 O) fertilizers used in agriculture, horticulture, & landscaping. Data Collection Inventory of sheep, pigs, cows, horses & goats. Inventoried & aggregated data about campus nitrogen fertilizer inputs from College of Agriculture and Landscaping Dept. Key Finding: Small percentage of campus emissions. Comments: Some sources of N 2 O missing from the model (pesticide and reclaimed H 2 O). http://www.sfondideldesktop.com/Images- Nature/Animals/Animal-Farm/Animal-Farm-0001/Animal- Farm-0001.jpg
