Does the institution have policies and/or guidelines in place to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources on campus?:
Yes
A brief description of the policies and/or guidelines to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources:
Vehicle anti-idling policy: A UNCG Facilities Operations policy regarding university vehicle operations was adopted in October 2010. The primary goal of this policy is to encourage fuel savings through minimizing idling, planning trips, and driving conservatively. The policy has not been adopted by all campus units. Reminder placards have been placed in all Facilities Operations vehicles.
Has the institution completed an inventory of significant air emissions from stationary campus sources or else verified that no such emissions are produced?:
Yes
Weight of the following categories of air emissions from stationary sources::
| Weight of Emissions | |
| Nitrogen oxides (NOx) | 17.17 Metric tons |
| Sulfur oxides (SOx) | 0.57 Metric tons |
| Carbon monoxide (CO) | 14 Metric tons |
| Particulate matter (PM) | --- |

A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
Every 6 months the University's Campus Mechanical Engineer prepares and submits an air emissions report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Air Quality. The report includes the fuel consumption and resultant calculated air emissions from the UNCG Steam Plant and a variety of emergency and standby electricity generators across campus.
