Nation climate zone map Go-Green Measurement, Benchmarking and Analysis • Go-Green Measurement and Analysis Members • Sightlines has approximately 59 Members • Approximately two-thirds are private • Approximately one-third are public • Approximately two-thirds have signed the ACUPCC • Approximately forty percent are Charter Signatories
A vocabulary for measurement Go-Green Measurement, Benchmarking and Analysis • Emissions from the direct activities of the campus. • “Stationary” • Fleet Fuel • Fuel Oil • Natural Gas • Refrigerants • Upstream missions from utility production not at the institution. • “Upstream Emissions” • Purchased Electric • Indirect emissions including transportation, waste disposal, etc. • “Indirect Emissions” • Study Abroad • Commuting • Wastewater • Recycled Paper • Solid Waste • Construction Debris • The use of composting, forest preservation and/or the purchasing of REC’s to offset campus emissions. Primary Emissions Ancillary Emissions Excluded Emissions from CT System Carbon Analysis: Scope #1- Fleet fuel, Refrigerants, Fertilizer Scope #2- None Scope #3- All emissions Offsets- All offsets
Carbon Intensity of Commonly Used Fuels Natural gas is the least carbon intense of fossil fuels, biomass even less Used at ECSU
Gross Emissions Scope 1 is Fossil, Scope 2 is Electric
