What are these refrigeration values? Are they the total amounts used on campus or the amount lost through use?
You are trying to capture fugitive emissions from the use of these chemicals, so you’re basically looking at what gets refilled. We are a rather small tribal college without a walk-in freezer, but we do have several soda machines and refrigerators. How do you suggest we incorporate those items into the green house gas inventory model? Are they already accounted for in the electricity usage section? Some campuses will have chillers or lab equipment that leaks refrigerants or other chemicals. They will know because a facilities person will have to refill the refrigerant from time to time. It sounds as though this doesn’t apply in your case, however (or if it does, it is in quantities so small as to be virtually inconsequential.) You’re correct, the power for the refrigerator, soda machine, etc. is all electric and so already captured elsewhere. So you should be good to go… My school leaked 400 lbs. of HCFC-123 over the past year. I tried inputing this into the calculator, but that part
