Carbon Footprint Calculation
Total carbon footprint divided by total campus population (metric tons per person)
CO₂ emission from electricity = (electricity usage per year (kWh) x0,84/1000)
= ( 2 317 499.567kWh) x 0,84/1000 = 1 946,699 metric tons
CO₂ emission from buses and services = number of shuttle buses in the university total trips for shuttle bus services each day x approximate distance of vehicle each day inside the campus only (km) x 240 x 0.01/100
Total Distance (Shuttle +buses) = 476 640 km
CO₂ emission from buses and services =476 640 km x 0,01/100 = 47,67 metric tons
CO₂ emission from private cars = number of cars entering the university x 2 x approx. travel distance of vehicle per year inside campus only (km)x0,02/100
= 17954 x2 x 25 (km) x 0,02/100 = 179.54 metric tons
CO₂ emission from motorcycles= number motorcycles entering the university x 2 x approximate travel distance of vehicle each day inside the campus only (km)x240x0.01/100
CO₂ emission from motorcycles = = (40 x 2 x 5 x 240)/100) x 0,01= 9.60 metric tons
Total carbon footprint divided by total campus' population (metric tons per person)
Renewable Energy Production (PV panels) = 459 783.58 kWh
CO₂ emission from electricity = (electricity usage per year (kWh) x0,84/1000)
= (459 783.58 kWh x 0.84/1000 = -386.22 metric tons
CO2 emissions from Renewable Energy Production (PV panels) = -386.22 metric tons
Total carbon footprint = CO₂ emission from electricity + CO₂ emission from buses and services + CO₂ emission from motorcycles + CO2 emissions from private cars – CO2 emissions from Renewable Energy Production (PV panels)
Total carbon footprint = 1 946.699 + 47.67 + 179.54 + 9.60 – 386.22 = 1 797.289 metric tons
The total campus population: 7184 people
Total carbon footprint divided by total campus' population: 1797.289/7184= 0.25 metric tons/person
