Ann Arbor Public Schools is the first school district in Michigan to release a report quantifying the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions the district produces, according to Emile Lauzzana, the district’s executive director of environmental sustainability.
AAPS released the report Tuesday, June 27, documenting 13 years of utility data for electricity, natural gas, water and other sources of carbon emissions and carbon removal among its 3.5 million square feet of property.
Tracking Scope 1 emissions of natural gas, diesel, gasoline and site carbon offsets; Scope 2 emissions of electricity; and Scope 3 emissions of water, AAPS has seen a 10% reduction in total emissions since 2010, according to the report.
