A brief description of the methodology or tool used to calculate the institution’s nitrogen footprint:
The institutional's nitrogen footprint has been calculated using the Sustainability Indicator Management and Analysis Platform (SIMAP,https://unhsimap.org).
Moreover, the methodology behind all calculations is based following the Nitrogen Footprint Tool (NFT) developed by Leach and al. (2013).
Categorization of the institutional N footprint is divided into 3 scopes, which are determined by the level of control of emission sources.
Scope 1: - On-campus stationary sources (propane, natural gas).
- On-campus fuel use including transport from the institutional's fleet.
- Waste from research animals only.
Scope 2: - Purchased electricity from the provincial energy state-owner (Hydro-Québec).
Scope 3: - Non-local travel including business and sports travel, student travel.
- Commuting travel including light rail subway and public transport.
- Food consumption and production from the institution's food center and cafés.
- Wastewater treatment
*Affiliated schools (engineering and business schools), teaching hospitals and health care centers are excluded from the analysis.
