Emission factors adopted were 0.43 kg CO₂/kWh for electricity, 2.68 and 2.31 kg CO₂/L for diesel and gasoline, respectively and for paper and plastic wastes, adopted were 1800 and 6000 kg CO₂/ton, respectively. Monthly activity values were plugged into the sheets in the spreadsheet software for computing the total monthly and annual CO₂ emissions. Computed values revealed the usage of electricity consumed widely followed by usage of fuel and solid waste generation. Calculated carbon intensity index varied in the range from 12-14 kg CO₂/student/month and reflected the environmental performance of the campus. The reduction scenario revealed that the reduction in usage by 10% for the usage of electricity can curtail the total emissions in the range from 6-8%. The findings conclude that enhancing energy efficiency, enhancing segregation and recycling of wastes and enhancing transport usage witheco-friendly transport modes can decrease the carbon footprinting of the campus largely and can aid in the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
