Summary
Cell: L2
Comment: Rick Heede:
This worksheet summarizes all sources of greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the Milton Hershey School, Hershey, PA, academic year 2006-2007. See the boundary
definition in the Summary Report and the set of worksheets for details. All relevant sums -- physical units, energy units, GHG emissions, and CO2e equivalent -- are linked to their
respective worksheets and thus automatically updated whenever any changes are made.

Comment: Rick Heede:
EPA (undated) “Natural Gas Methane Units Converter,” 2 pp., www.epa.gov/gasstar; PDF in Climate / Emissions / Emissions Factors. 1 ton CH4 = 47.792 million Btu
Cell: H5
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS adopts the Global Warming Potential (GWP) values from the IPCC Third Assessment Report of methane equals 23xCO2 (100 year horizon), and nitrous oxide of 296xCO2
(100 year time horizon). CMS uses the TAR convention, although some national inventories still use the SAR convention of 21xCO2 (and N2O of 310xCO2). The U.S. Energy
Information Administration (e.g., in the 2006 emissions inventory) adopts the TAR values.
Cell: E26
Comment: Rick Heede:
Estimated leakage of all refrigerant species in academic and other buildings and student homes, in lb per year. Note: CMS has deducted refrigerants in storage from leakage
calculations. See “refrigerants” worksheets for details.
Cell: B79
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS has calculated saved emissions from Milton Hershey School’s materials recycling (glass, newsprint, beverage containers, carboard) as well as MHS’ share of the electricity
generated at the Harrisburg Incinerator (proportional to MHS waste flow). However, such “savings” are not deducted from the School’s emissions inasmuch as emissions from the
supply chains of materials recycled are not included in the inventory, and it MHS cannot be credited with emissions reduction from electricity it neither generates, finances, or
purchases.

Comment: Rick Heede:
Fugitive methane emissions of coals mined for each utility’s coal-fired power plants diluted by coal-fired percentage of total generation and specific to each utility’s coal-mining regions. This column converts tons of methane into tons of
CO2-equivalent by multiplying by methane’s conversion factor of 25xCO2 (100 hundred year horizon, mole basis), per IPCC Fourth Assessment Report of 2007. CMS uses the FAR convention, although some national inventories still use
the SAR convention of 21xCO2 (and N2O of 310xCO2). The U.S. Energy Information Administration (e.g., in the 2006 emissions inventory) adopts the TAR values.
Cell: K17
Comment: Rick Heede:
This value calculates the CO2-equivalent factor for each utility’s carbon dioxide and methane emissions per average kWh and accounts for all carbon and non-carbon inputs to its resource mix. This factor also accounts for T&D losses from
generation to delivery. While the factor has accounted for fugitive methane from coal mining, this estimate stops at the mine and power plant gates and does not include the energy and emissions arising from transportation of coal, nor
the manufacture of loaders and draglines and excavators, nor the diesel fuel to run the mining and transportation modes. See the Boundary definition in the final report for details.

CMS note of 27Dec07:
PPL Corporate Responsibility Report 2007, p. 44 reports “one number for emissions from all PPL-owned generating facilities in six states (Pennsylvania, Montana, Maine, Connecticut, New York and Illinois)” as 0.58 tons CO2 per MWh, or
1,160 lb CO2 per MWh.
PPL does not report carbon intensity for Pennsylvania; CMS has inquired with George Lewis at PPL (gclewis@pplweb.com) regarding their PA resource mix. CMS will use PPL’s system-wide carbon intensity until more detailed data becomes
available.
Cell: B42
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS applies a value of 6 percent to account for T&D losses as a conservatism, although the U.S. “transmission and distribution losses (electricity losses that occur between the point of generation and delivery to the customer) are
estimated as 9 percent of gross generation.” Energy Information Administration (2007) Annual Energy Review 2006, page 221. This does not account for “electric energy used in the operation of power plants, estimated as 5 percent of
gross generation.” (ibid). Thermal conversion losses are accounted for.

This 2003 draft inventory sum of 1999 emissions: 79.79 MtCe, of which 72.73 MtCe as CO2 from fossil fuels, 1.47 MtCe as methane from oil & gas industry, and 2.27 MtCe from coal mining, and 1.16 MtCe from muni waste. Uses GWP
for CH4 of 21xCO2. Table B.4-1 shows 1999 stats (mislabeled as 1990): 17.19 million tons surface, 59.21 million sh tons underground prod; 20.675 Bcf total CH4 emissions (incl 3.58 Bcf post-mining) = 2.274 million tonnes Carbon-eq.
Thus 271 cf CH4 per sh ton mined, equals 3.38 tons CO2e per ton mined.

EIA (2007) AER 2006, page 10: “Carbon dioxide equivalents are computed by multiplying the weight of the gas being measured (for example, methane) by its estimated GWP (which is 23 for methane). In 2001, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group I released its Third Assessment Report, Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis.16 Among other things, the Third Assessment Report updated a number of the GWP estimates that
appeared in the IPCC’s Second Assessment Report.17 The GWPs published in the Third Assessment Report were used for the calculation of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions for this report. Generally, the level of total U.S. carbon dioxide
equivalent emissions is 0.6 percent higher when the GWPs from the Third Assessment Report are used; however, the trends in growth of greenhouse gas emissions are similar for the two sets of GWP values. GWPs from the Second
Assessment Report still are used for comparisons among countries.”

Tonnes CO2 per billion Btu simply multiplies C by 3.664191 -- the isotopically accurate conversion factor -- to convert carbon to CO2, assuming full combustion of the natural gas.
* While the energy content of a cubic foot of natural gas is highly dependent on the pressure altitude at which it is delivered, the carbon content per million Btu, which is the method we employ here, only varies slightly, as mentioned
above. At normal sea level pressure and energy value, one cubic foot of natural gas has a heating value of 1,027 Btu (but can vary from 950 - 1,100 Btu/cf).
At sea level, one hundred cubic feet (ccf) emits 12.0953 lb CO2 upon combustion. At altitude, both the energy content and the carbon emissions will far less per ccf.

Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS estimates the upstream fugitive emissions of methane from the natural gas system from production through delivery. In 2005 (the most recent data available), U.S. methane emissions from natural gas systems totaled 6.70 million
(metric) tonnes; in the same year, natural gas consumption was 21.981 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which equals 0.0657 lb of methane per hundred cubic feet (ccf) of gas consumed. Thus, (0.067198 lb CH4/ccf) / 0.04228 lb/cf (standard
conversion factor) = 1.58936 cf of methane lost per ccf of delivered natural gas = 1.589 percent fugitive emission rate; that is, a system loss rate relative to delivered natural gas. *
We are NOT attributing this additional emissions source to Milton Hershey School, but are accounting for upstream emissions that can be atributed to consumption of natural gas. We are therefore allocating such additional systemic
emissions to consumers for whose benefit the production, processing, and distribution of natural gas occurs.
The result is that an amount equivalent to 11.925 percent of the CO2 emitted by burning natural gas is emitted as fugitive methane by the natural gas industry, here expressed by CMS in units of CO2e. The 11.925 percent factor is used
by CMS to estimate emissions of methane from the natural gas system as a source of emissions added to combustion of the delivered natural gas. Note: This emissions estimate does NOT include system upsets or unintended pipeline
breaks or other leakage events that -- on occasion -- release unreported quantiites of natural gas to the atmosphere.

Carbon emissions per gallon of diesel and gasoline from EIA data. Diesel emissions are reduced by the fuel’s biodiesel component. At Milton Hershey School (2006/2007), Leffler Energy delivered 12,062 gallons of B5 (5
percent bio) in June and July to 19 locations (e.g, Spring Creek House, Swatara, Thorpe, Deardon).
While life-cycle net carbon savings estimates vary widely (see below), we use a net savings of 78.45 percent based on the NREL report cited below. The emissions coefficient for biodiesel is thus 4.824 lb CO2 per gallon
(22.384 lb CO2 per gallon for petrodiesel * (1-0.7845)).
CMS estimates average fuel emissions coefficient of 20.768 lb CO2 per gallon. Note: this is estimate is specific to 2006, since it is based on consumption of fuel by type. See Table 2 for details.
The upstream carbon emissions from biodiesel production are not analyzed here but are well-documented in the NREL study. Such an analysis would include fuel inputs to growing, fertlizing, harvesting, transporting soy or
other organic feedstocks, processing electricity and fuels, and storage and delivery fuel inputs. The net carbon savings from biodiesel is certainly less than the carbon absorbed from the atmosphere in the carbon fixation
phase of the feedstock. Note that upstream emissions from conventional fuels are not attributed to diesel and gasoline consumption by vehicle owners in Frisco. Estimates of “wells-to-tank” energy inputs range from 20 to
30+ percent above the emissions from the fuels’ combustion, depending on the bondary definitions used. See Wang (2001).
Net carbon savings estimates vary widely: from zero to 80+ percent; some organizations assume 100 percent carbon neutrality. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (1998) “Life Cycle Inventory of Biodiesel and
Petroleum Diesel for Use in an Urban Bus,” May1998, 314 pp., which concluded that biodiesel reduces net emissions of CO2 by 78.45% compared to petroleum diesel. Mark Delucchi of Institute for Transportation Studies
University of California, Davis suggests that the use of biofuels would increase greenhouse gas emissions as land is converted from forests, wetland and conservation reserve acres to grow more corn and soybeans. European
research suggests a range of 40 to 56 percent carbon savings.
13aug07 Note: US DOE (2006) Technical Guidelines: Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases (1605(b)) Program, p. 64, shows diesel fuel #2 as 21.15 lb CO2 per gallon. This factor is not corrected in the 2004 inventory,
but should be corrected in the 2006 emissions inventory. CMS has not reviewed DOE’s net carbon calculations in detail, but DOE’s calculations presumably use a lower net carbon savings factor, as illustrated by their datum
of 21.04 lb CO2 per gallon of B20 vs CMS’ 21.506 lb CO2 per gallon (DOE does not appear to account for carbon inputs to the biodiesel cycle, as CMS does by using NREL’s estimates).
DOE’s 1605 factors: B100: zero carbon, B20: 17.71 lb CO2, B10: 19.93, B5: 21.04.
E100: zero carbon, E85: 2.9 lb CO2 per gallon, E10 (Gasohol): 17.41 lb CO2.

By rough count, ~two-thirds of deliveries are made on the same days, hence significant route or scheduling efficiency is done.

Comment: Rick Heede:
A fugitive methane rate is applied to the propane production and processing infrastructure. See “methane” comments on the “Natural Gas” worksheet, in which methane emissions from the production through delivery of natural gas
are allocated to Frisco’s consumption of natural gas. CMS applies the same ancillary emissions factor for propane -- a sub-set of the natural gas industry.
The result is that an amount equivalent to 11.925 percent of the CO2 emitted by burning natural gas is emitted as fugitive methane by the natural gas industry. CMS applies the same percentage factor to consumption of propane.
In the case of propane, therefore, CMS allocates the US national fugitive emissions rate for natural gas (from which most propane is processed) in the production and gas processing stages: 1.87 million tonnes CH4 plus 0.63 million
tonnes CH4 of total natural gas system methane emissions of 6.70 million tonnes CH4, or 2.50 of 6.70 million tonnes CH4, or 37.31 percent of the natural gas rate (0.00568 kg CH4/kg CO2 from combustion), which converts to
0.00568 * 0.3731 = 0.0021221 kg CH4 / kg CO2 from propane combustion. At methane GWP of 21xCO2: 0.0021221x21 = 0.044564 kg CO2-e per kg CO2 from propane combustion. This, in simple terms, means a methane factor
of 4.4564 percent above emissions from propane combustion.
Sources used to estimate the fugitive methane emission rate for natural gas and propane: Energy Information Administration (2006) Annual Energy Review 2005; Energy Information Administration (2006) Emissions of Greenhouse
Gases in the United States 2005.

Data from Steve Myers, 21Apr08. CMS corrected two entries in the list of purchases by converting what was entered as 6 gallons and 12 gallons into “six 35.5-lb cylinders” and “twelve 20-lb cylinders” into 50.24 and 56.6 gallons,
respectively. 1 gallon of propane weighs 4.24 lb.

Comment: Rick Heede:
Calculations are shown under “Methane,” and is based on methane emissions from the natural gas industry (CH4 from production and processing, and thus excluding CH4 from pipelines and distribution). Emissions from the
production and delivery of both natural gas and propane thus exclude emissions from energy used to transport and deliver each fuel: energy for natural gas pipeline compressor stations, for example, and, for propane, the diesel fuel
consumed in transporting propane from processing plants and in trucks delivering propane to ultimate consumers.
Cell: B38
Comment: Rick Heede:
This column converts tons of methane into tons of CO2-equivalent by multiplying by methane’s conversion factor of 25xCO2 (100 hundred year horizon, mole basis), per IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. CMS uses the FAR
convention, although some national inventories still use the SAR convention of 21xCO2 (and N2O of 310xCO2). The U.S. Energy Information Administration (e.g., in the 2006 emissions inventory) adopts the TAR values.

Ptak’s & Homan’s data details refrigerant type and charge quantity by type of equipment (including manufacturer, model, and serial #). Since we do not have service records for these homes and refrigerated equipment, CMS uses

Comment: Rick Heede:
Michal Ptak and Kurt Homan of Pennsylvania State University Dept of Engineering have assembled a detailed inventory of refrigerant charges in all student homes and staff homes by type of equipment. Most homes have five outside
AC units, charged chiefly with R-22 refrigerant, a milk dispenser, electric water cooler, two refrigerators and one freezer (these are typically charged with HCF-134a.
CMS listed summed total MHS refrigerant charge by type: 72 lbs of R-12, 4,950 lbs of R-22, and 195 lbs of HFC-134a.
Cell: B35
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses the IPCC Good Practice Guidelines and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000), which shows annual leakage rates of 0.1 to 0.5 percent for domestic refrigeration, 1 to 5 percent for
residential AC, 2 to 15 percent for chillers, and 10 to 20 percent for mobile air conditioners. CMS applies these ranges to each equipment type in lieu of having actual leakage rates for each equipment type. CMS applies the
“domestic refrigeration” leakage rate to milk dispensers and water coolers. While a mass balance approach is the preferred methodology, CMS does not have service records and uses the IPCC default values instead. Other sources
(e.g. CCAR, ICLEI, EPA) have listed much higher leakage rates, but these higher numbers appear to be for screening for emission source materiality or de minimus calculations.
Cell: C38
Comment: Rick Heede:
EPA: “The leak repair requirements, promulgated under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, require that when an owner or operator of an appliance that normally contains a refrigerant charge of more than 50 pounds discovers that
refrigerant is leaking at a rate that would exceed the applicable trigger rate during a 12-month period, the owner or operator must take corrective action.” Must repair within 30 days, etc. No mention of range of “typical” leakage
rates. www.epa.gov/Ozone/title6/608/leak.html

Ptak’s & Homan’s data details refrigerant type and charge quantity by type of equipment (including manufacturer, model, and serial #). Since we do not have service records for these homes and refrigerated equipment, CMS uses
IPCC Good Practice Guidelines and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000); see below for specifics.

Comment: Rick Heede:
Michal Ptak and Kurt Homan of Pennsylvania State University Dept of Engineering have assembled a detailed inventory of refrigerant charges in all student homes and staff homes by type of equipment. Most homes have five outside
AC units, charged chiefly with R-22 refrigerant, a milk dispenser, electric water cooler, two refrigerators and one freezer (these are typically charged with HCF-134a.
CMS listed summed total MHS refrigerant charge by type: 72 lbs of R-12, 4,950 lbs of R-22, and 195 lbs of HFC-134a.

CMS deducts refrigerants in MHS storage at Central Inventory, COF, from the refrigerant leakage calculations, asuming that leakage from storage containers is zero or negligible.
Cell: F31
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS applies the relatively conservative values below, except we reduce the leakage rate for chillers from 2 to 15 percent pa to 1 to 7.5 percent per year, as a conservatism.
GHG Protocol HFC Tool (Version 1.0) Calculating HFC and PFC Emissions from the Manufacturing, Installation, Operation and Disposal of Refrigeration & Air-conditioning Equipment (Version 1.0) Guide to calculation worksheets
(January 2005); page 15 Table 2 shows “values are from IPCC Good Practice Guidelines and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000)” and annual leakage rates of 0.1 to 0.5 percent for domestic
refrigeration, 1 to 5 percent for residential AC, 2 to 15 percent for chillers, and 10 to 20 percent for mobile air conditioners.
CMS note 9Sep08: It came to light late in the inventory process that central campus chillers have not been re-charged in the last year or more. CMS was unable to confirm this statement, and the lack of re-charge may indicate but
not confirm zero refrigerant leakage. CMS retains the leakage calculations in this inventory. Future inventorists should review this issue, adjust future calculations as needed, and revise emissions for 2006/2007 if necessary.
Cell: B35
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses the IPCC Good Practice Guidelines and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000), which shows annual leakage rates of 0.1 to 0.5 percent for domestic refrigeration, 1 to 5 percent for
residential AC, 2 to 15 percent for chillers, and 10 to 20 percent for mobile air conditioners. CMS applies these ranges to each equipmetn type in lieu of having actual leakage rates for each equipment type. CMS applies the
“domestic refrigeration” leakage rate to milk dispensers and water coolers. While a mass balance approach is the preferred methodology, CMS does not have service records and uses the IPCC default values instead. Other sources
(e.g. CCAR, ICLEI, EPA) have listed much higher leakage rates, but these higher numbers appear to be for screening for emission source materiality or de minimus calculations.
Cell: C38
Comment: Rick Heede:
EPA: “The leak repair requirements, promulgated under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, require that when an owner or operator of an appliance that normally contains a refrigerant charge of more than 50 pounds discovers that
refrigerant is leaking at a rate that would exceed the applicable trigger rate during a 12-month period, the owner or operator must take corrective action.” Must repair within 30 days, etc. No mention of range of “typical” leakage
rates. www.epa.gov/Ozone/title6/608/leak.html

Future inventorists must update fuel consumption by fuel type for
all MHS-owned vehicles. Steve Myers provided a summary of fuel
consumption dispensed through MHS fuel pumps. Fuel

CMS calculates (for illustrative purposes) ancillary emissions from upstream crude oil production, transportation,
refining, and distribution to service stations. As noted below, ancillary emissions differ by fuel: diesel fuel is heavier
and requires less refinery input and thus emissions, whereas gasoline is a lighter fuel and requires more energy
input and emissions. Energy inputs include natuarl gas liquids, steam, natural gas, electricity; vented CO2 and
methane are also included (TK).
CMS does NOT add these upstream emissions to MHS direct emissions from on-site combustion of transportation
fuels, in accordance with inventory protocols, including the WRI GHG Protocol.

Cell: H38
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses Delucchi’s factors for upstream emissions by fuel.
Delucchi (2003) Lifecycle emissions model (LEM), table 56 “Upstream fuel cycle emissions as a percentage of end use emissions, by pollutant and feedstock/fuel combination,” shows 27 percent for conventional gasoline and 19
percent for diesel.
Cell: C39
Comment: Rick Heede:
UCS (2007) “Rolling Smokestacks: Cleaning Up America’s Trucks and Buses” Ch 1: “Each gallon of diesel fuel burned in a diesel truck engine results in emissions of 22.8 pounds of carbon and other heat-trapping gases. An additional
5.4 pounds of heat-trapping gases result from the production and delivery of each gallon (Wang and Huang 1999). The units are lb CO2 per gallon of diesel at combustion, lb CO2 per gallon from production to fuel delivery (well to
tank), and percentage adder.

Cell: C42
Comment: Rick Heede:
FEIR, page 4.2-52: “GHG emissions associated with refining would increase these emissions by an estimated 13-17 %.”). CMS averages this range to 15 percent, even though the datum cited (may) only include refinery inputs and
excludes pipeline transportation to refineries and transportation by tanker trucks and product pielines to distribution centers and gasoline stations.
Cell: C43
Comment: Rick Heede:
Delucchi (2003) Lifecycle emissions model (LEM), table 56 “Upstream fuel cycle emissions as a percentage of end use emissions, by pollutant and feedstock/fuel combination,” shows 27 percent for conventional gasoline and 19
percent for diesel.
Since the gasoline/diesel output ratio is roughly 6.7 million bbl per week (gasoline) and 2.3 million bbl per week (diesel), CMS uses this blended average to estimate average fuel cycle emissions per gallon, i.e., (27 percent * 6.7 +
19 percent * 2.3) / (6.7 + 2.3) = (180.9 + 43.7) / 9.0 = 24.96 percent on average.
Cal gasoline and diesel refining data: www.energy.ca.gov/gasoline/quarterly/index.html
Delucchi (2003), page 95: “In Table H.6 of DeLuchi (1993), refineries consumed 0.145 BTUs of process energy to produce 1.0 BTU of conventional gasoline.” Note: gasoline requires much higher refinery energy inputs than does
diesel fuel (0.039 to 0.072). Note: refinery inputs only, excluding production, pipeline, and distribution energy and emissions. Since this does not include other refinery emissions sources, CMS uses above emissions calculations
instead.

Future inventorists may -- but not required to -- update the survey of
Milton Hershey School faculty and staff commuting characteristics, such
as vehicle types (and fuel economy), frequency of car pooling, distance
from work, and so forth. Unless these factors have changed
substantially, an extrapolation based on the total staff and faculty may,
therefore, suffice.

between HC on Governor Rd & CH building on Hersheypark Drive.
2. Local shuttle between buildings. 3. St. home vans brings
students to CH in AM - HP return together in 1 share van and
return together in afternoon to pickup students (leaving SH vans
parked @ CH for day, saving 1 trip a day). 4. Purchase gas on
campus - @ set price - for # gallons of gas needed for work
commute (adjust # gallons by distance from work on
week/monthly basis). 5. Publishing a list of employees willing
to participate in car parking to work - ? adjusting hours to match
when possible. 6. 2 HLA staff in my neighborhood with 2 MHS
vehicles - permission to ride to work with one of them in MHS
vehicle. 7. Monitor spped of MHS vehicles driven - to keep to

Make working from home 1 or 2 days a week possible for those
who have jobs where they could do that.
Hybrid automobiles are much more expensive than conventional
automobiles. If MHS would give employees some type of
incentive(s) to purchase hybrid automobiles there would be
many people interested in purchasing a hybrid automobile.
Sure, pay for my fuel, lol! Seriously, I don’t know of how you
could?, Possibly by using your fuel buying power, MHS could
allow employees to fill @ that rate and then deduct the amount
Pave the dirt road connecting 743 to Paint Shop/COF or build
connecting road that’s more direct from MHS to 743 towards Etown
During summer, go to a 4-day work week. Provide a as allowance
and/or cost of living increase
4 day work weeks, cost of living increase
Provide gas at cost tax exempt. Give each employee personal
vehicle use reimbursment 0.27 C/mile or whatever the current
Bus transportation or van carpool to neighboring counties. Or
teleportation would be awesome.
Carpooling is a good idea but my schedule is a little
unpredictable, so carpooling doesn’t really work for me.
Move me closer. Plus. I pay turnpike tolls $1.25/turnpike use.
Pay mileage
How about 4 - 10hr days - one day less you have to drive your
car to work
4 - 10 hr days
How about a cost of living increase?
use of a company vehicle
Have shuttle buses to work and home, have less meetings, less
driving
Build a jogging trail to Palmyra
pay for the fuel
Incentives for hybrids or fuel alternative cars, incentives for
carpooling, mileage $$
Other than having trolleys run from Palmyra and Campbelltown
and installing a real bypass around Campbelltown? No, probably
10 hour / 4 day work week; 1 day/week at home on the laptop
working
Is there any carpooling available?
Not for me but a few suggestions - encourage employees using
school cars to carpool - Leadership Forum has MANY school cars
where people could ride together. An award for those that
reduce their school mileage - could include student homes. An
Unless MHS can provide periodic pick-ups at selected spots,
probably not.
Telecommuting option or compressed work week to reduce days
of travel
Cost of living
Car pool, or some form of compensation, or help with gas

The selfish thing would be to say that MHS needs to provide me
with a vehicle. I use my car while on-call and to travel from
Springboard to campus. Given the nature of our program and if
my on-call time is busy it can rack up the miles. I am not quite
sure how else to do this. The school does reimburse me for
mileage and I am very appreciative of that.

My commute could not be easier or shorter, but MHS could work
to allow/encourage telecommuting for certain positions a few
days a week

Incentives to carpool; make carpooling easier to do by having
more people work regular days and hours. Have a bus, I can’t
take CAT bus because hours are not compatible with school

Perhaps compile a list of staff who are willing to carpool to work
from certain areas - this could be cross-referenced by location
and by shift. Then we could start a ride-sharing program (if there
isn’t one hiding out there already!).

I have tried to get a car pool from the West Shore, however,
individuals are reluctant to participate. With gas prices
increasing, perhaps others will want to car pool even one day
would help. Perhaps MHS can encourage with a list of people who
are willing to car pool from various areas.

1. Purchase gas at MHS - at a lower price. 2. If an employee’s
attendance is commendable, and drives to work - that employee
can be awarded with special gas cards. 3. IT labs and conference
rooms can be furnished with video conference equipment that
we can access remotely via our desktop computers. That will
save the gas and travel time to meetings and trainings. 4. We
can get a raise every time the gas price goes. Payroll can be
adjusted by how ever much the price of gas increases or
decreases. 5. Get a rebate bonus check to cover the increase of
gas - this can be done quarterly or annually. 6. Allow for 4 daywork-week during long student breaks - summer, winter, spring.
Work 10 hr. days -- 4 days a week. Employees can opt for
Monday to Thursday or Tuesday to Friday weeks. Making it
possible for work stations to be covered for the 5 days. Similar
A “park & ride” near Harrisburg would be GREAT!
I work across all division so I do a lot of traveling across campus.
With Catherine Hall and Springboard being so far away from my
office, it has become especially time consuming and taxing on

to drive between buildings. I appreciate the fuel reimbursement,
but the wear and tear from so many short trips can’t be

CMS uses EPA’s City/Highway blended fuel economy (if given); in some cases the EPA does not compute blended fuel economy (which accounts for average miles driven in each mode), and CMS simply averages the two figures.
CMS did not request specifics on engine size, transmission type, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, or other variables in the survey of MHS commuters (nor would it have been productive to do so: many car owners do not know). CMS thus had to make a reasonable assumption
about such variables and select appropriate fuel economy average.

CMS, in coordination with Steve Myers and Jeff Madison (MHS Customer
Service), sent commuting survey forms to ~1,000 MHS staff and employees. In
all, 182 survey responses were received, and data was entered and analyzed in
a worksheet (HersheyCommuting.xls). The sums and averages are linked to the
present summary worksheet, which also extrapolates fuel consumption and CO2
emissions to all commuting employees of the Milton Hershey School.

Comment: Rick Heede:
Many MHS employees drive their personal vehicles on School business during their work day. On average, according to our survey, MHS employees drive 4.3 miles on campus per week on School business. This is probably an
underestimate.
Cell: E15
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS also asked respondents if they were full-time employees and how many days per week they drove to work. The result, although not particularly reliable since many responses were as ambiguous as our flawed question, suggests
that on average MHS employees drive 4.9 times per week in their own vehicle. CMS asked about car-pooling, but responses were imprecise.

The survey asked respondents about their vehicle’s fuel economy. While most answered this question, some responded with a reasonable mpg range, while a few declared they had no idea.

Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS calculates ancillary emissions from upstream crude oil production, transportation, refining, and distribution to service stations. As noted below, ancillary emissions differ by fuel: diesel fuel is heavier and requires less refinery
input and thus emissions, whereas gasoline is a lighter fuel and requires more energy input.
However, CMS does NOT add these upstream emissions to MHS direct emissions from on-site combustion of transportation fuels, in accordance with inventory protocols, including the WRI GHG Protocol.
Cell: I40
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses Delucchi’s factors for upstream emissions by fuel.
Delucchi (2003) Lifecycle emissions model (LEM), table 56 “Upstream fuel cycle emissions as a percentage of end use emissions, by pollutant and feedstock/fuel combination,” shows 27 percent for conventional gasoline and 19
percent for diesel.

Comment: Rick Heede:
2002 data shows average fuel consumption on all Certificated Air Carriers (Domestic and International) was 0.0272 gallons per passenger-mile. This mixes all routes, carriers, aircraft types, distances, and load factors (72 percent in
2002). While the type of equipment and numbers of passengers by carrier flying into Aspen is known (e.g., 74.3 percent of deplanements arrived on United Air-Wisconsin in 2004), we have chosen to use the national average fuel
and carbon emissions per passenger-mile across all domestic and international routes rather than estimating emissions for the Denver to Aspen leg of the numerous flight visitors and residents take.
Source for fuel consumption and passenger-mile data: Davis, Stacy C. (2004) Transportation Energy Data Book 2004, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, Table 9.2. Total air carrier fuel consumption in 2002: 2.408 Q
(~17.84 billion gallons). Total General aviation energy use: 0.142 Q (~1.05 billion gallons).
Cell: F17
Comment: Rick Heede:
Using the ORNL data cited in the comment I15, we calculate emissions as 0.5740 lb CO2 per passenger-mile. As stated above, this is an average for all routes, equipment types, distances, and load factors for all domestic and
international carriers flying in the US in 2002.

Comment: Rick Heede:
An EPA refrigerant specialist (Dave Godwin) verifed mobile AC leakage rate of 10 to 20 percent as a “reasonable range for annual mobile AC emission rates. I am assuming “emission rate” includes both “leakage” from the system as
well as emissions during service. The number used would vary quite a bit depending on typical service practices, for example if recovery were required (as it is in the U.S.) and/or if do-it-yourselfers using small cans were common (as
it is in the U.S.).”
GHG Protocol HFC Tool (Version 1.0) Calculating HFC and PFC Emissions from the Manufacturing, Installation, Operation and Disposal of Refrigeration & Air-conditioning Equipment (Version 1.0) Guide to calculation worksheets
(January 2005); page 15 Table 2 shows “values are from IPCC Good Practice Guidelines and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000)” and annual leakage rates of 0.1 to 0.5 percent for domestic
refrigeration, 1 to 5 percent for residential AC, 2 to 15 percent for chillers, and 10 to 20 percent for mobile air conditioners.
CMS, however, uses the re-charge rate for MHS-owned vehicles that use HCF-134a (see below) as the 134a high rate (which translates to an annual re-charge rate of 26 percent [390/1481]), and from 10 to 20 percent per year for
the other species.

Comment: Rick Heede:
A cpmprehensive list of HFC-134a uses and leakage (or other emission pathways, such as refrigerant canisters, owner-recharge, and vehicle disposal frm incomplete refrigerant recovery) has not been found by CMS. Conservatively,
CMS assumes that fully half of computed HFC-134a leakage is from sources other than routine leakage from vehicle AC units. Further research may well narrow this uncertainty.

Comment: Rick Heede:
Glenn Schneck (VEM Garage) provided 2007/08 refrigerant purchase data: 390 lb HCF-134a, all re-charged into vehicles. GS: “Yes, this includes all MHS vehicles and equipment. About 30 lbs remain in machine. Not sure of amount
used in 06/07, but would assume about the same.” CMS accounts for the 30 lb not used for re-charging, thus 360 lbs per year. CMS tried to determine longer term refill rates by asking “It sounds like MHS re-charges its vehicles
yearly. Does that sound right?” Schneck replied: “Yes, if needed.” This leaves the long term average re-charge rate uncertain; nonetheless, CMS applies the 2007 re-charge quantity (390 minus 30 lbs in canister).
Thus, 360 lb re-charge / 1,481 lb total vehicle AC charge = 24.3 percent re-charge rate per annum.
Cell: E38
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses 50 percent of the actual re-charge rate as the low estimate and as a conservatism. Future verification of annual re-charge quantities may result in adjusting this low estimate upward, as long as re-charge is done every year,
and other considerations.

Vincent, Richard C., Kevin William Cleary, Alberto Ayala, & Richard Corey (2004) “Emissions of Hfc-134a From Light-Duty Vehicles in California,” California Air Resources Board, Society of Automotive Engineers, May04, SAE # 200401-2256.
Abstract: The current refrigerant in mobile air conditioning (AC) systems, HFC-134a (also known as R134a), is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with a global-warming potential (GWP) of 1300. Its emissions from 2009 and subsequent
model-year (MY) light-duty vehicles may be regulated under the terms of a law (Sec. 43108.5, Health and Safety Code) adopted in California in 2002. To support regulation development, we have estimated direct emissions of HFC134a from vehicular AC systems in California by a novel, three-prong method that uses: 1) data on the consumption of HFC-134a by California commercial fleets, 2) surveys of vehicle owners on AC system repair incidence, and 3)
data on repair incidence among California commercial fleet vehicles. Although these sources do not report direct emission rates of HFC-134a, the data reflect actual leakage integrated over long periods from vehicles in all stages of
useful life. Results from the analysis suggest that in California, the typical light-duty vehicle loses approximately 1.4 kg of HFC-134a over a 16-year average lifetime, and HFC-134a emissions in 2003 were approximately 80 grams
per vehicle. These results are consistent with the limited data available from emission measurements but less than the estimates annually published by U.S. EPA.

much higher if produce, other meats (pork, fish), fruits, snacks, and so forth all
are included. Total food-related emissions are indicated in Table 5. However, for
the sake of simplicity and veracity, CMS only adds the quantities in Table 1 to
the overall MHS inventory estimate. Consumption of chicken, beef, and milk is

This savings estimate is generic and does not necessarily reflect local collection or disposal energy expenditures vs savings.
Emissions from diesel fuel used by waste and recycled materials haulers are included in the transportation worksheets as a percentage of “3-axle trucks”.
While materials recycling typically saves energy and emissions, it must be made clear that the high emissions “savings” ignore substantial emissions from pick-up, hauling,
From and energy and emissions perspective, recycling aluminum has by far the highest GHG savings per ton.

Breslin response, 23Jul08:
All numbers are based upon disposal during the period of January 1, 2007 - December 31, 2007
- Truck hours to collect all waste / recy = approx. 878 Hrs
- Fuel used to collect all waste / recy = 295 Gallons (approx. 3 gallons per hour, including idling while picking up, etc..)
- Front Load fuel economy = 5 MPG
- Rear Load fuel economy = 5 MPG
- Roll-Off Load fuel economy = 3 MPG
- Total incinerated waste in 2007 = Unknown at this point
- Diesel fuel and electricity and natural gas (if any) on-site = Unknown (do use natural gas to fire burners, have 2 heavy equipment pieces onsite 12hrs day operating, unknown of electricity)
- Site location of MSW disposal = Harrisburg Incinerator 1670 S 19th St, Harrisburg, PA 17104
- Site location of Recycle disposal = WM Recycle America Mt. Pisgah Road, York, PA & Palmyra Transfer Station 123 E High St, Palmyra, PA
- Waste composition (summary data will be fine) = mostly food waste and general household trash.
- Recycled composition = 40% Glass, 40% Plastics and 20% misc recycle (cardboard, wood, metal, etc..)
- Approximate distance from incinerator to Hershey campus = 16 miles one way Approximate distance from recycling center to Hershey campus = 5 miles one way (Palmyra), 40 miles one way (WM Recycle America in York)
- (I can assume that each waste hauler going to MHS campus is filled at MHS or makes non-MHS stops) = Thursdays for Trash with rear load truck we make 2 trips to the Incinerator, Front load service is in the middle of a regular
route (not much of this at the school)
- Some idea of how many truck trips are made between MHS and your site for both waste and recycled pick-up per week or month = 4 trucks for MSW 1 x a week or approximately 208 Annual trips.

Comment: Rick Heede:
Milton Hershey School’s’s aluminum recycling rate is unknown (commingled data).
By way of comparison: The aluminum recycling rate in Aspen is ~11.2 lb/cap-yr (76 tonnes/yr in commingled recyclables divided by Aspen’s population within the UGB of 8,993 = 5.1 kg/cap-yr). Seattle’s is 4.1 kg/cap-yr, Bergen
County 6.8 kg/cap-yr. The U.S. average is 3.5 kg/cap-yr; 1996 data from EPA/Ackerman; www.tufts.edu/tuftsrecycles/energy.htm, Table 2.
Cell: E46
Comment: Rick Heede:
Waste, Recycling, and Climate Change Frank Ackerman, Director or the Research and Policy Division of GDAE, Tufts University, Medford MA, USA. See www.tufts.edu/tuftsrecycles/energy.htm
Abstract: Waste management has at least five types of impacts on climate change, attributable to (1) landfill methane emissions, (2) reduction in industrial energy use and emissions due to recycling and waste reduction, (3) energy
recovery from waste, (4) carbon sequestration in forests due to decreased demand for virgin paper, and (5) energy used in long-distance transport of waste. A recent U.S. EPA study provides estimates of overall per-ton greenhouse
gas reductions due to recycling. Calculations using these estimates suggest that the U.S. could realize substantial greenhouse gas reductions through increased recycling, particularly of paper.
Ackerman estimates savings for HDPE as 1.5 tonne CO2-eq saved per tonne recycled, LDPE as 2.0 tonne CO2-eq saved per tonne recycled, and PET as 2.5 tonne CO2-eq saved per tonne recycled. CMS averages this to 2.0 tonne
CO2-eq saved per tonne recycled.
Cell: B47
Comment: Rick Heede:
Steve Myers supplied waste & recycling report for 2007 for Waste Management Inc (4300 Industrial Park Road, Camp Hill PA, 232-0878), listing recyclables below, and “Municipal Solid Waste” flow of 1,546.98 tons. A second page
lists 27.8 tons of recycled motor oil, and 50 gallons of antifreeze.
Cell: I47
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS assumes that students, houseparents, and both and part-time personnel all have access to recycling containers. The MHS population estimate is from Table 2 above.
Cell: B51
Comment: Rick Heede:
MHS did not provide a composition analysis of recycled commingled materials. CMS used composition data from Pennsylvania Dept of Environmental Protection (2005) Pennsylvania Recovered Material Composition Study, by R.W.
Beck, Feb05, 149 pp. Percent of “containers” by percent weight is listed below, from PDEP, Table ES-2. Since this an analysis of residential waste and recycling streams, CMS thinks it is likely that MHS recycled commingled materials
are somewhat lower in steel and glass.

Note: DTMA is assessing the feasibility of using waste gas in a new
co-generation facility, which will reduce or eliminate purchased gas
and flared gas, ass well as reduce pruchased electricity. Note also
that 2007 gas consumption was unusually high due to “start-up
issues with dryer; after co-gen installation, this number should go
down to <5,000 ccf.

Schutz, DTMA, 8Jul08: “Anaerobic Digester: Produce ~ 6,000 CF/hr of methane generated. Utilize ~ 50% to generate steam to dry biosolids from 16% cake to >98% granules.” Schutz confirmed that the 50 percent remainder is
flared, which DTMA hopes to make zero by 2009.
CMS uses the figure of 3,000 sf of methane per hour as flared.

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of nitrous oxide is 298 times that of carbon dioxide over a 100-year time horizon. IPCC (2007) Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis, Table 2.14, p. 212.
Cell: B16
Comment: Rick Heede:
Phil Shirk, personal communication, 27May08: “We applied about 2 pounds of Nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. to about 20 acres of Turf. If my math is correct that would be around 1,742 pounds of N. We have not applied any N. to the
general campus since I started in 2002, as we discussed on the phone last week.”
CMS math: 20 acres = 43,560 sf * 20 = 871,200 sf; times 2 lbs per 1,000 sf = 2 * 8,721.2 = 1,742.4 lbs N.
Cell: B17
Comment: Rick Heede:
As Phil Shirk notes above, no other turf areas were fertilized.

Comment: Rick Heede:
These tables are taken from U.S. Dept of Energy (2005) Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases (1605b) Program: Draft Technical Guidelines, DOE Office of Policy and International Affairs, pp. 191-92.
The DOE/EIA methodology is generally consistent with the IPCC Guidelines and the US EPA’s Annex 3: Methdological Descriptions for Additional Source or Sink Categories (Annex 3 to EPA’s (2005) Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Sinks, 1990-2003), yosemite.epa.gov/oar/globalwarming.nsf/content/ResourceCenterPublicationsGHGEmissionsUSEmissionsInventory2005.html

Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS has indexed actual MHS emissions for 2006 to the IPCC B1 scenario, which is characterized as a slower growth scenario than its A1 high-fossil-fuel growth scenario. CMS uses B1’s estimates of fossil fossil
combustion plus industrial carbon plus net forest carbon plus methane plus nitrous oxide emissions, in which 2050 emissions are 24 percent higher than in 2006 (and 48 percent higher than 1990 emissions.
(Note: THe B1 scenario for fossil carbon and industrial carbon emissions rise steeper than the whole basket of sources and sinks, rising 49 percent above 2006 by 2050.)
The B1 scenario declines globally after 2050.
This B1 emissions scenario was downloaded from Columbia University’s CIESIN website 9Aug06. The scenario estimates future emissions by decades; CMS has interpolated between ten-year periods.

Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses IPCC’s results for its B1 scenario, indexed to actual MHS emissions in 2006, for the period from 1990 to 2005, then a gradual decline to the 2050 emission target to reduce emissions by 80 percent
below 2006 by 2050.
Cell: AO12
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS here assumes that Hershey’s emissions in 1990 follows the path of IPCC’s moderate-growth B1 scenario, indexed to MHS actual emissions in 2006. Then CMS models the emissions in 2012 if the Hershey
School embraced the Kyoto Protocol target that the U.S. adopted at Kyoto in 1997: total U.S. emissions seven percent lower in 2012 than in 1990. Starting from modeled 1990 emissions at MHS of 35,492
tons CO2e, and 2006 emissions of 42,500 tons CO2e, then MHS’s target for 2012 is 33,008 tons CO2e. The annual emission reduction rate is therefore 4.125 percent per year 2007-2012.
Cell: AQ12
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS developed a scenario for MHS emissions back to 1990 based on several partial factors, such as:
# student population, for which we have data back to 1990, at 1,083 students, and 1,509 students in 2006;
# actual consumption of electricity and natural gas, but we only have data for 2001-2006, which suggests declining energy use and thus emissions;
# electricity, natural gas, and resulting emissions per student per year.
CMS had assumed that MHS emissions have probably risen since 1990, considering the new buildings and added services, additional student population, presumably also a larger faculty and administrative staffs.
But the scant data we do have -- actual gas and electricity consumption -- does not support this view. Hence, CMS has developed a scenario in which MHS emissions were higher in 1990 (by 10 percent) than in
2006, with an upward trend peaking 2002, then declining to our inventory result of 42,500 tons CO2e in 2006. Since electricity and natural gas comprise 78 percent of total MHS emissions in 2006, it is
reasonable to index past (and future) emissions to building energy use. We used actual energy data for 2001-2006, calculated tons CO2e per student for those years, then assumed a gradual increase in
emissions per student from 1990 to 2000.
CMS considers this scenario a high estimate of 1990-2000 emissions, but in truth is not made with a high degree of confidence (we simply don’t have data either way). Still, CMS posits this scenario as the high
range compared to the much lower estimate based on IPCC’s B1 scenario on which the other Kyoto emission path is based.
CMS then modeled emissions redutions required to meet the Kyoto target of seven percent below 1990 by 2012 as follows: 1990 emissions of 46,650 tons CO2e, 42,500 tons CO2e in 2006, then emissions
must “decline” to 43,385 tons CO2e by 2012. Since the 1990 emissions are higher than 2006 by 9.8 percent, and the goal is a 7.0 percent reduction, the Milton Hershey School is “permitted” to slightly
increase its emissions over the period between 2007 and 2012.

James McMahon, MHS, mcmahonj@mhs-pa.org, 22Jun08: “I can help you with the question of student population. Because the number fluctuates from month to month, Dr. Brechbill made an independent
decision to considered the figure from October of each year to be indicative of the enrollment for that year since it was well into the start of the academic year. For purposes of our School Chronology, we have
continued that tradition.” Data below.

Cell: R18
Comment: Rick Heede:
Since CO2e per student (electricity plus natural gas emissions only) is known for 2001-2006, CMS assumes that emissions per increased by 0.4 tons CO2e per student per year from 1990 to 2000. CMS has no
data to base this upon, other than relatively stable student population.
Cell: AM18
Comment: Rick Heede:
CMS uses the estimated emissions for MHS generated by multiplying the B1 scenario indexed to MHS actual emissions in 2006.

University and college inventories vary greatly in scope. Milton Hershey School
and Oberlin College inventories -- both conducted by CMS -- are
comprehensive in scope (including, for example, commuting and air travel,
halocarbons, wastewater, fertilizers, and methane sources). PennState’s and
Yale’s are also comprehensive. Princeton’s, in contrast, only includes campus
energy and fuel used in university-owned vehicles. Such variables make a fair
comparison between academic institutions impossible. The results below
should be considered merely indicative in lieu of comprehensive comparisons.

Gloria, Thomas (2001), Tufts University’s Green House Gas Emissions Inventory for 1990 and 1998, Tufts Institute for the Environment, Medford MA, January 2001.
Tufts University Greenhouse Gas Inventory (2006) Tufts Emissions Inventory Update for 2005, Tufts Climate Initiative, shows emissions increased to 24,252 tonnesCe (= 98,030 tons CO2e). CMS does not have updated building area and enrollment
data, and thus calculates indicators on the 2000 data.

U.S. 2006 emissions: 7,800 million tons carbon dioxide-eq (7,076 MtCO2e); EIA (2007) Emissions of Greenhouse Gases, 2006, www.eia.doe.gov; U.S. 2006 pop: 298.4 million; ® 26.13 tons CO2e/capita (26.58 tons CO2e 2005).
This works out to 26.1 tons CO2e per capita. But let’s take a look at total sf in res and coml buildings: 71.66 and 265.53 billion square feet. Ignoring industrial buildings, resl and coml buildings total 337.19 billion sf. See calculations below.

Princeton University (2006) Princeton University Report for FY 2007 to New Jersey Higher Education Partnership for Sustainability Ted Borer, PU Energy Plant Manager, 2 pp.
NJHEPS requests and uses data on total student FTE plus total faculty and staff FTE as an emissions indicator. CMS uses student population only, and googled Princeton student enrollment of undergrads and grads at 6,773 for 2006.
25Jul08: Borer sent background worksheet for FY2007, which (unlike theiir NJHEPS rpt), calculates emissions per gross floor area, not “conditioned space” (85 percent of gross).
FY 2006: 138,952 tons (32.9 lb CO2/gsf-yr), FY 1990: 121,005 tons (36.5 lb CO2/gsf-yr). FY 2007: 145,452 tons CO2 (33.2 lb CO2/gsf-yr). CMS uses the FY 2007 data.

Princeton gross floor area. Princeton estimates 85 percent of gross area is conditioned space for the NJHEPS report.

The Princeton University Sustainability Plan (2008), p. 3: Goal: “Decrease campus carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. This goal is fully in alignment with the State of New Jersey’s energy master plan and is both principled and ambitious.
First, Princeton aspires to achieve the reduction to 1990 emissions levels through activities on our campus rather than through off-campus “offsets.” Second, we propose to achieve this goal after having added approximately 1.5 million square feet to
the campus since 1990 and even as we now add approximately 2 million gross square feet of new construction over the next ten years. Finally, our emissions goal has an end date of 2020. We have not set an additional goal for 2050. Given the
likelihood that unforeseen technologies will emerge over the next 20 years that will have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emission, and with this new information, our successors will be able to determine a new goal that continues our aggressive
approach to a sustainable future.”

Lachmann, Stephen Frederick (1999), A Greenhouse Gas Inventory of the University Park Campus of the Pennsylvania State University, Geography MS thesis, August 1999. CO2e per square foot is calculated by including total campus greenhouse gas
emissions and converting to CO2e emissions per square foot. Pennsylvania State University Physical Plant Website. http://www.opp.psu.edu/fact/fact.htm 5Jul01.
MacDonald, Michael (2000), Higher Education Energy Performance Indicators 1997-98, Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers: http://eber.ed.ornl.gov/commercialproducts/CCAS9798.htm. PennState is listed as having 37,779 students and
14.653 million sq. ft.
Steuer, Christopher John (2004) estimates total emissions of 408,332 tonnes CO2e (450,104 tons CO2e) in 1999. CMS uses this datum and the previous building area and student enrollment figures.

Based on CU’s limited GHG inventory (buildings and campus vehicles only): 34,567 tons C (=126,757 tons CO2). APPA survey: CU has 25,109 students and 9.061 million sqft = 10,097 lbs CO2/student-yr, and 28.0 lbs CO2/sf-yr.
