A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
We track the amount and type of fuel used to generate steam from the boilers in the central heating plant, along with an estimate of the fuel used to produce electricity from our emergency generators (based on number of hours run). These figures are submitted to the state and used to calculate a fee based on our portion of the various pollutants associated with these fuels. The estimated amounts the state determines we have contributed are indicated below.
