Carbon Footprint Analysis
Some of the
Carbon Footprint (CF) analyses which our
team has undertaken are briefly described
below. Do not hesitate to
contact our team
for further information or to undertake a CF
analysis.
As part of a full campus “greening” project
conducted by Yelloblue, EcoConsulting was
sub-contracted in 2013 to carry out a
detailed CF analysis of the Notre Dame
University (NDU) campus in Lebanon. The aim
was to measure and outline the major
contributors to NDU’s baseline operational
CF, which in turn would allow the NDU to
evaluate, reduce, and monitor their future
energy usage and GHG emissions mitigation
efforts. The results demonstrated that the
lack of a good level of public
transportation in the country made this
category the highest GHG emissions
contributor and generated CF (45%) followed
by the type of energy sources used to power,
heat, and cool the university (43%).
EcoConsulting also undertook the CF analysis
of the Queen’s Birthday Party, a 4-hour
event organized in May 2013 by the British
Embassy in Lebanon. The results confirmed
that catering (80%) followed by
transportation (15%) had the highest share
in the generated GHG. Following our CF
estimations of the event’s activities, the
British Embassy subsequently organized a
corporate event and planted 320 trees in the
fall of 2013, during the most favourable
planting season, to offset the event’s
associated CO2 emissions and succeed in
organizing a Carbon Neutral party.
