A brief description of the methodology(ies) the institution used to complete its air emissions inventory:
The campus continues to work on energy conservation measures, especially thermal conservation measures. Despite adding nearly 500,000 square feet to the campus in the past 15 years, the campus uses less thermal (and electrical) than it did then. Efforts have been on a wide variety of fronts from aggressive window replacement projects, extensive work on the steam distribution system, education and awareness activities with building users (especially the Res Halls), to insulation projects (attics, pipes, etc.).
The information in this section is from the 2015 calendar year. Information was not available from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to update the report with 2016 information.
Other standard categories of air emissions identified in permits and/or regulations is from Refrigerants and Chemical Compounds of HFC-134A, HFC-404A, HCFC-22 from the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory.
