October 2013

FY13 GHG Inventory Update

• GHG Inventory

– Total Duke broken down into

•University = University/School of Med./School of

Nursing

•Health System contiguous to Durham campus

• CAP target – carbon neutral by 2024

– Only applies to University

– Did not include Health System in neutrality target

• Air Travel methodology change

Page 5: Campus Sustainability Committee - Duke Universityplastics, chip bags, condiment packets (e.g. ketchup/mustard squeeze packs), non-paper tea packets, plastic gloves, padded manila envelopes,

Air Travel Methodology

• Calculating miles traveled

– Historic way - $ from Employee Travel and Reimbursement (ETR), avg. price per mile from

AA

– New way – destination data from ETR, put into

database with airport distances, 60% manually

scrubbed by intern

• ~60% less than $ calculation

• Still has assumptions ex. all travel starting from

RDU

• Still had some that needed more research

• Better estimate than original

at Duke University

Alison Carpenter, AICP Transportation Demand Manager

Page 17: Campus Sustainability Committee - Duke Universityplastics, chip bags, condiment packets (e.g. ketchup/mustard squeeze packs), non-paper tea packets, plastic gloves, padded manila envelopes,

Approximately 1 parking space for every 2 people

Parking prices range from $99 - $1,401 per year

Duke is regional transportation demand management (TDM) “hot spot”

University TDM program includes: Free GoPass to use local/regional buses Duke Transit for campus-area transportation Carpool, Vanpool, & Bicycle Commuter Benefits

Discounted carpool permits and preferred parking Free vanpool parking and pre-tax payroll deduction option Access to campus showers 2 free daily parking permits per month

Occasional parking permits ($4/day) Ridematching services for Duke students & employees

By the Numbers

Duke University owns more than 8,000 acres of land, while the main campuses sit on approximately 1,000 acres. This geographic area services nearly 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students, as well as 35,000 employees, of the University and Health System.

Page 23: Campus Sustainability Committee - Duke Universityplastics, chip bags, condiment packets (e.g. ketchup/mustard squeeze packs), non-paper tea packets, plastic gloves, padded manila envelopes,

By the Numbers

Duke’s 2007 Greenhouse Gas Inventory revealed that 11% of campus emissions were attributed to university commuters, with 29% of total emissions attributed to the transportation sector. Recent greenhouse gas inventories have indicated that Duke’s transportation emissions remain high compared to CAP goals.

Contamination Rates During Summer Evaluation

**Organic contamination in one recycling unit was elevated because of seminars in the conference room, adjacent to new double recycling bin, compost bin located on the other side of the floor. A new compost bin was ordered for this location.

Page 41: Campus Sustainability Committee - Duke Universityplastics, chip bags, condiment packets (e.g. ketchup/mustard squeeze packs), non-paper tea packets, plastic gloves, padded manila envelopes,

• Mini-bin doesn’t fit opening

• Want a mini-bin for compost

• Trash opening too small

• Don’t like touching trash

• Pizza Boxes

• Mostly participants like the program but want it to be more

convenient

• Recycling volume increase requiring 2xweek collection

• Why professors have to take out trash & recycling; use of time

Participant Feedback

Page 42: Campus Sustainability Committee - Duke Universityplastics, chip bags, condiment packets (e.g. ketchup/mustard squeeze packs), non-paper tea packets, plastic gloves, padded manila envelopes,

Next Steps

• Reporting –Determine diversion rates for University/SoM and Health System

–Contractor reporting

–Develop University/SoM and Health System waste reduction targets –Goals to motivate Duke community

–Continue waste audits –Pilot bldgs, Athletics and Residence Halls

• Recycling Standards and Outdoor Waste Management –Develop waste management plan based on:

– GSF with partial or contracted service

– Results from pilot projects

–Establish Outdoor recycling plan

–Determine recommendations based on Pilots –Single Stream Recycling

–Post-consumer Composting •Increase education

•Update bins based on participant feedback

•Survey pilot participants

–Campus wide standards
