The campus has converted several gasoline vehicles to LPG. In addition, we now are a smoke free campus.
None
Has the institution completed an inventory of significant air emissions from stationary sources on campus?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
All stationary sources on campus are regulated by an air permit required by the EPA and managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. We also report our GHG emissions from stationary sources to the EPA directly. We use the same methodology as mandated by the regulatory authorities for our permits for our campus GHG calculations.
