Abstract

Measuring the CO2 emission to the atmosphere has become significantly important due to the monitoring demand of pollutant emission based on the directives of the Kyoto Protocol. The carbon quota system has created strict regulations for measuring the CO2 emission in certain industries, internalizing the negative external effect of pollution created by human activity. As the built infrastructure is responsible for 40% of CO2 emission, this study focuses on the evaluation of the carbon footprint of the Study and Information Centre, which is one of the largest and most frequently visited main buildings of the University of Szeged [1]. The data collection used for the evaluation was conducted in the first quarter of 2020 and contains information for all three scopes (fuel combustion, company vehicles, fugitive emission – purchased electricity, heat and steam – purchased goods and services, business travel, waste disposal, transportation, investments). In the process of data collection, the eating habits, selective waste collection and travelling methods were covered in a visitor/employee survey as well. The results highlighted in this paper will provide a basis for further carbon reduction investments, protocols and events held for shaping the visitors’ and employees’ consciousness after the COVID 19 pandemic. Keyword: Environmental impact, carbon footprint, Bilan Carbone, higher education, travel, meals

Abstract

The implementation of innovations and technologies to decrease carbon emission is one of the main priorities that the University of Szeged is striving to achieve. Although, effective investments cannot be carried out without proper measurement systems in energy management and carbon emission monitoring. Understanding the importance of proper measurement, the University of Szeged has decided to calculate the whole carbon footprint of one of its main buildings, namely, the Study and Information Centre with the help of KÖVET association. The carbon evaluation uses data of 2019 and contains the direct and indirect carbon emission of building management, and of its employees’ and visitors’. This calculation will be the basis of further carbon reduction investments, protocols and events held for shaping the visitors’ and employees’ consciousness. In parallel with the evaluation, the University of Szeged has made some huge steps to decrease carbon emission factors. For instance, a newly installed visitor monitoring system regulates the electricity usage of ventilation in the most used areas of the Study and Information Centre based on the actual number of visitors present in the building. Furthermore, from April 2020, five electric cars substitute the most driven cars of the University in urban areas, rapidly decreasing the direct carbon emission in the city.
