Sakarya Üniversitesi Esentepe Kampüsü 2015 yılı karbon ayakizi çalışması

Year 2017, Volume: 21 Issue: 5, 1095 - 1099, 01.10.2017

Abstract

 Bir üniversitenin karbon ayakizinin hesaplanması benzer organizasyonlar için bir model oluşturmaktadır. Bir

kampüste farklı ve çeşitli tecrübelere sahip yetenekli insanlar, gelişmiş araştırma binaları bulunduğu ve çeşitli
seragazı kaynakları içerdiği için sera gazı emisyonlarının ölçülmesi, yönetimi ve raporlanması önem arzetmektedir
[1]. Bu çalışmada, Sakarya Üniversitesi Esentepe Kampüsünün 2015 yılı seragazı emisyonları Hükümetler Arası
İklim değişikliği Paneli’nin (IPCC) tier 1 metodu ve World Resources Institu (WRI) nın sınır belirleme metodu ve
World Business Council for Sustainable Development’ın metodları kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplamalarda,
2014 yılı IPCC beşinci değerlendirme raporundaki küresel ısınma potansiyeli, seragazlarını karbondioksit (CO2)
eşdeğerine çevirmek için kullanılmıştır [2]. Sonuçta, Sakarya Üniversitesi Esentepe Kampüsü’nden 12,330.73 ton
CO2 eşdeğeri seragazı açığa çıktığı ve dolaylı emisyon olarak değerlendirilen elektrik tüketiminden kaynaklanan
emisyonların en önemli emisyon kaynağını oluşturduğu, bunu öğrenci ve çalışanlardan kaynaklanan emisyonların
izlediği bulunmuştur. Kampüsteki CO2 nin azaltılması için özellikle enerji tüketiminde verimlilik için bazı çözümler
önerilmiştir.

Carbon footprint studies on Esentepe Campus of Sakarya University, Turkey in 2015

Year 2017, Volume: 21 Issue: 5, 1095 - 1099, 01.10.2017

Abstract

The carbon footprint calculation of a university is considered a model role for the rest of other organizations to follow.
It is because that a university is full of talented people with diverse experience, advanced research facilities and it
consists of many resources that we need to measure, manage and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [1]. In this
study, tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and setting boundaries method of
the World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) are
applied for calculating GHG emissions from Esentepe Campus of Sakarya University (SAU) in 2015. In the
calculation of this study, the last updated Global Warming Potential (GWP) from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report,
2014 was used for converting greenhouse gases into CO2 equivalent [2]. As a result, Esentepe Campus of Sakarya
University released 12,330.73 tons of CO2 equivalents (Expressed as tCO2e) and scope 2 indirect emissions of
purchased electricity is the most important emission source, followed by emissions from student and employee
commuting. In order to reduce CO2 on Campus, some solutions are also suggested for efficiently consuming
electricity and energy.
