Part 1
Yes
None
A brief description of the policies and/or guidelines to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources:
An Idle Free campaign was implemented across City Centre Campus. Drop-off zones were identified and signage implemented to instruct drivers that idling for "one minute or less is best."
Part 2
Yes
Weight of the following categories of air emissions from stationary sources::
| Weight of Emissions | |
| Nitrogen oxides (NOx) | 9.03 Metric tons |
| Sulfur oxides (SOx) | 0.04 Metric tons |
| Carbon monoxide (CO) | 5.42 Metric tons |
| Particulate matter (PM) | 0.49 Metric tons |
| Ozone (O3) | 0.00 Metric tons |
| Lead (Pb) | 0.00 Metric tons |
| Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) | 0.00 Metric tons |
| Ozone-depleting compounds (ODCs) | 0 Metric tons |
| Other standard categories of air emissions identified in permits and/or regulations | 0 Metric tons |
None
A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
Energy consultants were used to gather the data for OP 2: Outdoor Air Quality.
Activity data was collected from the following stationary sources in their native consumption units for the fiscal year between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, unless otherwise stated:
• Natural gas combustion by boilers and furnaces
• Diesel fuel use by backup electricity generators
• Laser printing and copying
In keeping with the industry best practice for quantifying emissions, the following equation was used to estimate emissions from stationary sources at MacEwan University:
Emissions (Tons) = Activity Data (Unit) X Emission Factor (Tons/Unit)
All relevant stationary sources of emissions identified by STARS were investigated at MacEwan University. For the current reporting year, it was determined that the refrigerants used in the chillers on campus did not need to be recharged. As a result, the weight of ozone-depleting compounds is reported as zero
