This program tracks UF’s greenhouse gas emissions by counting electricity, natural gas and other utility
usage in buildings, as well as capturing ground and air miles traveled by students, faculty and staff.
These energy related activities are then translated into greenhouse gas (GHG) numbers using standardized
conversion formulas that factor the type of greenhouse gas by its global warming potential. The result
allows us to view the carbon footprint of the University of Florida.
This initiative is part of UF’s commitment to understand its contribution to global warming, and to prepare
students, faculty and staff to take steps to reduce greenhouse emissions and eventually reach climate neutrality.
