Built Community Infrastructure (Residential, Commercial, and Industrial):
<br />During the calendar year of 2005, University City’s residential, commercial, and industrial
<br />sectors (referred to as built community infrastructure) combined to emit approximately 335,384
<br />metric tons of CO2e. Collectively, these three sectors comprised approximately 63.9 percent of
<br />the community’s total emissions in 2005. By examining Table 7, one can see that University
<br />City’s residential sector was the largest emitter of the three, followed by the commercial and
<br />industrial sectors, respectively. All of the emissions that are being calculated from the built
<br />community infrastructure are the result of local natural gas consumption (Scope 1) and local
<br />consumption of electricity that is being generated outside of University City (Scope 2).
