Introduction
In 2008 Dr. Nancy Kleniewski became the 20th President of SUNY, College at Oneonta.
She immediately put forth sustainability as one of her four “key architectural elements” she
would use to guide the campus into its future. “…we can strive to expand our college’s
commitment to sustainability in all of our activities…Sustainability should infuse our teaching
and learning, our construction, maintenance, and landscaping, the food we eat, and the way we
use resources.” (Kleniewski, 2008)
As part of this commitment to sustainability, a decision was made to conduct a
complete greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and calculate Institutional emissions using the Clean
Air-Cool Planet Campus Carbon Calculator. This tool is recommended by the American College
and University Presidents Climate Agreement (ACUPCC). Dr. Kleniewski intends for SUNY,
College at Oneonta to become a signing member of the ACUPCC after a Climate Action Plan is
developed. The 2008 GHG Inventory will be used as a first step in developing this plan under
the auspices of the President’s Sustainability Task Force. The Sustainability Task Force, formed
in 2008 and chaired by Thomas Rathbone, Associate Vice-President of Facilities, was created to
consolidate all SUNY Oneonta sustainability efforts and is the supervisory and consulting body
for this project.
This baseline data will enable SUNY, College at Oneonta to compare itself to other
similarly sized campuses in New York, including SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Binghamton and Colgate
University. These analyses will inform goal-setting for efficiency increases and reductions of
resource consumption.
In fall 2009, students Katherine Ogut and Maribeth Rubenstein were hired as project
Interns and charged with the task of gathering emissions data for the year 2008. The project
has been directly supervised by Thomas Rathbone and Dr. Gina Keel, Assistant Professor of
Political Science. The decision to use student interns, rooted in the tenets of economic
sustainability and student development, saved the college thousands of dollars in consulting
fees and provided the students with a valuable career development experience.
SUNY Oneonta’s overall carbon emissions for 2008 were found to be 33,725.50 eCO2.
The largest impact on the total emissions stemmed from Scope 1 sources. Air travel did not
have a significant impact on total emissions. Purchased electricity provided the smallest impact.
To place these findings in context, the larger university, SUNY Buffalo, had a 2007 emission total
of 155,917 eCO2 and smaller Colgate University emitted 17,893 eCO2 in 2008.
This report documents the methods used to obtain data, assumptions, contact
information for data sources and a comparative analysis of the data. We have also included raw
data, where appropriate, to help demonstrate how the calculator functions. Assumptions,
estimations and averages were required to complete sections with incomplete data,
particularly in the areas of transportation. The authors of this report recommend the
3
distribution of faculty, staff and student surveys in the upcoming semester, so that future
transportation data can be more accurately assessed.
This report is to be used as a template for future greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventory projects,
which may include gathering emission data from 1990-2010 and beyond.
Part I: Carbon Calculator
Clean Air-Cool Planet is an organization dedicated to “finding and promoting solutions to global
warming.” In order to aid institutions in evaluating their carbon footprint this organization
created the Campus Carbon Calculator. The calculator is a Microsoft Excel-based spreadsheet
tool that is used to investigate sources of emissions on college campuses. Sources of emission
are categorized into three major areas or “Scopes”.



Scope 1 - includes all direct sources of GHG emissions from sources that are owned or
controlled by your institution, including (but not limited to): production of electricity, heat,
or steam; transportation or materials, products, waste, and community members; and
fugitive emissions (from unintentional leaks).
Scope 2 - includes GHG emissions from imports of electricity, heat or steam – generally
those associated with the generation of imported sources of energy.
Scope 3 - includes all other indirect sources of GHG emissions that may result from the
activities of the institution but occur from sources owned or controlled by another
company, such as: business travel, outsourced activities and contracts, emissions from
waste generated by the institution when the GHG emissions occur at a facility controlled by
another company, e.g. methane emissions from landfilled waste, and the commuting habits
of community members.
These scopes are further broken down into areas such as






On Campus energy production
Purchased electricity
Transportation
Waste
Agriculture
Refrigerants
Emissions may be modified by “offsets” such as composting, forest preservation and purchased
green credits.
The process of the calculator begins with data collection. This process involves working with
various departments and campus staff to compile the necessary raw data to enter into the
calculator. The software uses a combination of formulas, conversion factors (coefficients) and
emission factors to calculate the final emission totals.
4
The calculator then reports this data in graph, chart and spreadsheet form. These results
provide in depth insight about specific sources of emissions. The analysis is based on this
output.

Don Ackerman, Director of Facilities Operations provided information regarding refrigerants,
residual oil, fertilizers, university fleet, and central plant natural gas. Rebecca Porter-O’Donnell,
Manager of Accounts Payable provided information regarding natural gas from all other
campus accounts and propane. Ms. Porter-O’Donnell created a tracking spreadsheet for these
accounts and will be updating this information regularly.

Scope Two
Purchased Electricity
22,340,937 kWh
Purchased Electricity information was provided by Don Ackerman, Tom Rathbone and
Kathleen Slusher, Energy Procurement Manager, SUNY Central. Mr. Ackerman provided an
overall number of kWh (kilowatt hours). Mr. Rathbone expanded upon this information by
breaking this number into categories of building usage and monthly usage. Ms. Slusher
explained how to analyze this number further by determining our NYISO (New York State
Independent Service Operators) zone to find our generation sources. NYISO is the organization
that provides the New York State grid with electrical energy. Due to the fact that SUNY Oneonta
does not generate any electrical power on campus, the purchase of all electricity is a marketbased, SUNY Central decision. This grid-purchased power is generated from a variety of sources
including hydro, wind, biomass, coal, and fossil fuels.
The custom fuel mix option was used in the spreadsheet. The first step in determining the
custom fuel blend was finding the campus location in the NYISO zone system. SUNY Oneonta is
located within Zone E. (See Appendix I). The percentages of each generation source (by season)
of the overall amount of electricity (MW) purchased by Zone E were calculated. Seasonal totals
were averaged together and these percentages were entered into the Custom Fuel Blend
worksheet. The calculator then multiplied the percentages against SUNY Oneonta’s total
kilowatt hours (kWh) purchased.

Solid waste information was provided by Denny Reed, owner, Waste Recovery Enterprises.
Solid waste collection was weighed for an average pick-up when students were in-session. This
number was multiplied by percentages that coordinated to smaller campus populations as
appropriate (June, July and 1st 3 weeks of August). Finally, an overall yearly average was
calculated. Solid waste is disposed of in a privately owned landfill that does not capture and use
methane.
The following percentages were used to estimate the annual amount of solid waste generated.
The last week in August through the end of May was calculated at 32 tons per week. The month
of June was calculated at 20% of this amount per week, or 6.4 tons/week. The month of July
and the first three weeks of August were calculated at 25% of this amount per week, or 8.0
tons/week.
32 tons x 40 weeks = 1280 tons
6.4 tons x 4 weeks = 25.6 tons
8.0 tons x 8 weeks = 64.0 tons

Figure 7.
Relative to the other institutions, SUNY Oneonta’s Scope 1 emissions are the highest. However,
further comparisons reveal that SUNY Oneonta’s Scope 1 value is not an outlier. Smith College,
not included on this graph, has a nearly identical percentage of Scope 1 emissions to SUNY
Oneonta’s.
Figure 8.
This chart compares SUNY Oneonta’s per enrollment emissions with other colleges that have
used the Clean Air- Cool Planet toolkit to calculate their carbon footprint. Relative to other New
York state colleges, SUNY Oneonta’s eCO2 emissions per enrollment are comparable to other
SUNY campuses.

Figure 9.
The impact of Colgate University’s 11,000,000+ air miles traveled is evident in this depiction of
university air mileage emissions. In contrast, SUNY Oneonta’s <1,000,000 miles of air travel
creates significantly less impact. However, air mileage is the most challenging data to track and
shows wide variance.

Part IV: Recommendations for Improving Methods
Acquiring and preparing data for insertion into the spreadsheet was, in some cases,
unnecessarily arduous. Following are some recommendations for improving the future
collection of this data.
In Scope 2, under Purchased Electricity, the custom fuel mix tab was used. It is
questionable whether this is appropriate or necessary. When the topic was broached with
energy specialists at a NYISO market overview course, it was argued that an institution cannot
claim a unique set of generators. All electricity ends up in the same grid and is distributed
throughout the state. This is a complex topic and might be suitable for further discussion
amongst the Sustainability Task Force.
Some of the weaknesses in the report pertain to the assumptions that were made about
commuter travel. There was no data available on the amount of percentage of faculty or staff
that carpool, and the actual miles that commuters travel. As previously recommended, this
information could be obtained through a campus-wide transportation survey. See Appendix II.
Air travel by faculty and students was a difficult to calculate. It required manually
calculating 17 pages of paired cities data from a credit history report. Paired cities were entered
into a web based mileage calculator, a process that took several hours.
A superior process of calculating air mileage was highlighted in Colgate’s Comprehensive
Carbon Inventory for 2008-2009.
“The total mileage was calculated using the method recommended by the Association
for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE.) This method requires taking
the average cost per mile for air travel as provided by the Air Transport Association of America,
increasing that average by 20% to account for taxes, and then dividing the total cost of air
travel by the resulting amount. This equation is shown below.
Total money spent on faculty and staff air travel: $983,423.23
Average cost per mile (taxes included): 16.5 cents per mile4
=÷165.23.423, 983$5,960,140 miles = 4,627 MT eCO2” (Taylor, 2009)
This process is recommended for future air mileage calculations.
18
Conclusion
The calculator provided insight about our overall carbon footprint and, more specifically,
the areas in which we are having greater and lesser impacts. The university will be able to
mitigate some factors, but not all, as SUNY Oneonta is reliant on the grid for delivery of heating
and electrical energies. Perhaps a dialogue with SUNY Central regarding the purchase of greater
amounts of green offsets could be productive.
Offsets that can be generated on-campus could be actively pursued. The Sustainability
Task Force and OAS are working to implement offset projects such as burning used cooking oil
to heat the College camp, donating shredded paper for reuse by local farmers, increasing
recycling around campus, and raising campus awareness of energy use and the environmental
impacts of consumer decisions. These are excellent projects that support the overall campus
goal of sustainability. We hope to see more projects in the future such as composting food
wastes, an organic garden pilot project and the use of solar and/wind installations on campus.
The Facilities and Safety Department continues to aggressively implement efficiencies
on campus. This is a very effective policy as efficiencies are the most economic way of reducing
emissions.
Additional data collection will create a more comprehensive picture of historical
emissions. This will enable SUNY Oneonta to make goal setting more effective and relevant.
NOTE: Additional graphical information can be accessed in the completed 2008 Campus Carbon
Calculator. This spreadsheet is on file with Mr. Tom Rathbone at the SUNY Oneonta
Department of Facilities and Safety.

eCO2
CO2 Equivalents. A metric measure used to compare the emissions
from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming
potential (GWP). Carbon dioxide equivalents are commonly expressed
as "metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCDE)." The carbon
dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the tons of the gas
by the associated GWP. (MTCDE = (million metric tons of a gas) * (GWP
of the gas))
A unique value for scaling emissions to activity data in terms of a
Emissions
standard rate of emissions per unit of activity (e.g., grams of carbon
coefficient/factor
dioxide emitted per barrel of fossil fuel consumed).
Any gas that absorbs infrared radiation in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse Gas
Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane
(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), halogenated fluorocarbons (HCFCs), ozone
(O3), perfluorinated carbons (PFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).

This chart shows New York State electrical energy generation by zone and type of fuel. The
state has been divided into regional zones by the New York State Independent Service
Operators (NYISO). SUNY Oneonta lies in Zone E. The percentage of generation sources can
vary from summer (May-October) to winter (November-April) seasons. This report averaged
those differences when calculating percentages of fuel type. These averaged percentages
were then entered into the carbon calculator under the “custom fuel blend” category.
