Week 9

SimaPro calculations have been finished!

The work presented underneath shows the carbon footprint of Drexel students, specifically freshmen. There are two links which give the data of the impact assessment on students.

SimaPro - IPCC GWP 100a link:

SimaPro - Specification per Substance link:

The first graph underneath shows the number of kg of each gas that is produce. Looking at the first graph, carbon dioxide flat out wins as the most produced gas of Drexel freshmen students. Moving on to the second picture, this graph show the percentage of each activity that is done in one day. The percentage is piled on top of one another which shows a bar. Looking at the bar, the most pollutant causing factor stands out more in while the least causing factor of pollution is not visible. Lastly, the chart map below shows the possible pollutant in creating the items we used or electricity we use, in this case, it is of the typical Drexel Freshman student.
