A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
The University’s carbon footprint is determined annually by the Clean Air-Cool Planet (CA-CP) team of the Green Campus Enterprise. Students in the enterprise, begun in 2008, use a CA-CP carbon calculator to develop the inventory, following the reporting guidelines of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. The students refine their data-collection methods every year. The carbon inventory includes electricity and fuel used by our buildings, and the motor fleet, air travel, rental car travel, personal travel, refrigerants, and chemicals.
