Sustainability Engineering Students First to Estimate UT's Carbon Footprint


University of Toledo's first greenhouse gas inventory was conducted by Dr. Defne Apul's Sustainability Engineering Class students. This first estimate showed that UT's current annual carbon footprint is approximately 82,300 metric tons of CO2. Students presented the results to UT president Dr. Jacobs and his senior leadership team on April 28, 2010. Photo shows Dean Nagi Naganathan, Civil Engineering Department Chair Dr. Ashok Kumar, Civil Engineering assistant professor Dr. Apul and her students posing for a photo after the presentation.
