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.
