Sustainable Operations Dashboards
The University of Alberta is always working to improve energy efficiency and increase resource conservation across its campuses.
Our sustainable operations dashboards showcase our successes and uncover areas we can improve in climate action, energy management and sustainability.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions on Campus
The university tracks greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its operations in a GHG inventory. View this dashboard to learn more about sources and amounts of GHG emissions at the university and see our progress towards our carbon emission reduction goals.
View GHG Emissions DashboardThe university tracks greenhouse gas emissions from its operations in a GHG inventory. This graph shows the different sources of emissions at the university.
Following the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Scope 1 includes all of the direct emissions resulting from the university’s operations, Scope 2 is purchased electricity and Scope 3 is indirect emissions, such as solid waste, waste water and commuter travel. Learn more in our GHG Emissions Dashboard.
Energy Use on Campus
Buildings use energy for things like heat, power and air conditioning, and reducing energy is one way to lessen our impact on the environment and reduce carbon emissions. Explore this dashboard to learn how much energy our buildings use and visualize performance over time.
