Did you know that Arizona State University (ASU) is monitoring its energy data to determine real time solutions for reducing its carbon foot print on campus? The Campus Metabolism tool debuted 2008 with one building and now has expanded to include a robust set of data on several of ASU’s buildings. ASU research engineer Joby Carlson and ASU’s National Center of Excellence on SMART Innovations had this to say about their innovative tool, “A lot of people go through their lives not knowing how much energy or water they use daily or how much of their trash goes to landfills versus recycling centers. In order for people to understand how their actions impact the environment, they have to see the information for themselves.” For part one of this assignment A please visit the "Campus Metabolism" site. http://cm.asu.edu/# 1.Click on the “Virtual Room” tab at the top. 2.Click on “Residence Living.” 3.Interact with the “Virtual Residence Dorm Room” and discover how much money typical dorm room electronics, appliances, and utilities cost. Be sure to consider the list of all possible items, particularly those that are always running or on. Answer the following in complete sentences. 1.What item did you think would be the most expensive item to run? 2.Was your prediction accurate? Yes or no, please explain? 3.What other items do you own that might be both energy intensive and costly to operate? Part two: Let’s think about ways we could reduce our own emissions. Please use the " Nature Conservancy" to calculate your own carbon footprint. http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm Use your score to answer the following questions in complete sentences: 1.What are your estimated carbon emissions in tons of CO2 per year? 2.How much higher or lower than the US national average was your total carbon output? 3.How much higher or lower was it than the world average? 4.After seeing your score and the comparisons, do you feel inclined to reduce your carbon footprint? Part three: Please list 10 ways (feel free to Google as necessary) that you could reduce your carbon footprint.
