-------------------------------------------
[Under the new EPA rules in the USA any institution that produces over
15,000 tons CO2 must register with the EPA as primary emitters (and will
likely be subject to cap and trade restrictions when, and if, they are
implemented by Congress). Research universities produce upwards as much as
500,000 tons of CO2 per year of which anywhere from 30-50% comes from
cyber-infrastructure and campus IT. In the very near future University
presidents and politicians are going to quickly realize who are the major
contributors to CO2 on their campus and are going to start to demand
solutions. It is also likely that research and university funding agencies,
like those in the UK will also demand both university researchers and CIOs
to incorporate the cost of carbon in their research or IT proposals. Here
are some tools designed specifically for university IT departments and
researchers that will help them reduce their CO2 footprint. I also recommend
that all IT staff undertake carbon accounting courses through the
not-for-profit GHG institute. Special kudos to Educause, NACUBO,
ZeroFootprint and ClimateCheck for these pointers - BSA]

ZeroFootprint Carbon reduction services for universities
http://www.zerofootprint.net/we-help/universities
We Help Universities
Zerofootprint Universities is an online application that can help mobilize
and empower your university community to take action on climate change. The
web-based calculator and social networking application gives students,
faculty, staff, alumni and offsite learners the ability to measure, track
and manage their individual carbon footprint, and to collaborate with other
members of the university to achieve environmental goals.
You can aggregate the carbon footprints of your community by segment or
across the entire university population. The application will measure carbon
reductions that result from changes your community makes, and you can
attribute these reductions to your university, and publish and celebrate
them. Your university can also use the data gathered by the application to
inform and support other climate change initiatives on the campus. In
addition, Zerofootprint Universities supports competitions and challenges
between individuals, departments or other groups, as well as with other
universities who are using the application. The application also links to a
marketplace of green products and services, as well as events and news.
Universities, especially when acting together, are like countries without
borders, and the aggregated actions of their communities can make a
significant contribution to a greener world. Knowing they are part of a
larger effort gives university members a sense of empowerment to bring about
positive change.
Zerofootprint Universities features
. University members can each calculate their own carbon footprint and track
it through time.
. University members can see their footprint relative to others.
. Your university can link the "Tips" in the calculator to other current
environmental initiatives.
. Your university and/or its members can set footprint reduction goals.
. University members can see the impact of achieving goals on their
footprint.
. University members can pledge and commit to taking certain actions to meet
goals.
. University members can see and link to others who are also using the
calculator, and create or join groups around goals.
. University members can also use Zerofootprint's One Minute Calculator for
a quick measure of their footprint.
. The application links to a marketplace of green products services, events
and news
Zerofootprint Universities customization
You can customize Zerofootprint Universities to your requirements. We
co-brand the application, and link it to your website, with your
university's logo appearing on all pages. You can tailor the questions in
the carbon footprint calculator to suit your community, and we program in
the appropriate emissions factors for your location which will be used for
all the calculations. You can adapt the "Community" section of the
application to allow challenges between your departments, classes or other
groups
