A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
To quantify its emissions, the University tracks fuel consumption (oil, natural gas) and uses publicly available emission factors provided by the US EPA in AP-42: Compilation of Air Emission Factors for estimating its emissions, with the exception of empirical data collected during routine stack testing (once during a 5-year permit term) for Oxides of Nitrogen, and Sulfur Dioxide for Boilers 9 and 10. Emissions from other non-criteria pollutants are tracked through purchasing records and mass balance calculations.”
