Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The data provided in this credit is based off of GHG Emissions Inventory conducted for FY 2006 and FY 2009.

Emory's GHG Emissions Inventory includes the adjacent Emory Healthcare System and scientific research facilities, with the goal in mind to promote sustainability efforts across the whole Emory institution. The decision to include these energy intensive facilities significantly contributes to the carbon emissions levels inventoried.

This increase may be partially attributed to the additional square footage of building space (net 202,653 square feet) resulting in a demand for more heating, cooling and power resources
