Inventory Guidelines

From Common Energy UVic

The Guidelines for the GHG Inventory completed by Teams taking the University Challenge will include information on data collection, calculators, spreadsheets, data analysis tools, and possibly benchmarks, and a standardized GHG reduction classification system.

Summary from the ACUPCC:

The raw data required for a campus GHG inventory calculation falls generally under the following major categories (specific details are outlined in inventory calculators): • Purchased Electricity • Purchased Steam / Chilled Water • On Campus Stationary Sources (energy generation) • Transportation (commuting, air travel, campus fleet) • Agriculture (fertilizer use, animal waste) • Solid Waste (incinerated, landfill) • Refrigerants and other Chemicals • Offsets (Renewable Energy Credits purchased, composting, forest preservation, local offset project such as paying for boiler conversion at a local K-12 school, etc.)
