Concluding Comments17
Major Takeaways – EnergyEnergy Represents Nearly 55% of all GHG Emissions atChamplain College. Residence Halls Represent 46% of TotalEnergy UsageTotal Institutional Energy Use Has Flat Lined Since FY06Despite a 37% Growth in Campus GSFThis Highlights the Impact of Reinvestment into ExistingFacilities and a Focus on ‘Green’ Construction for New Buildings.Consumption Will Decrease Further as the Geothermal Plan isImplemented and Remaining Buildings are Renovated
Major Takeaways – Transportation and WasteTransportation, Including Daily Commuting and Study AbroadTravel Represent the Majority of Remaining EmissionsCampus Waste is Not a Significant Source of Emissions, but it’sStill Important as This is Often the Most Tangible and VisibleIndicator of Campus Sustainability EffortsChamplain College Generates More Waste Than PeerInstitutions, but is Also Diverting More of This Waste toRecycling and Compost
