largest amount of CO₂e emissions, University City’s “Streetlights and Traffic Signals” sector <br />was the second largest emitter as well as the most costly energy user. It is also important to note <br />that while the city’s vehicle fleet only accounted for approximately 12.7 percent of the <br />government’s GHG emissions in 2005, it was the largest user of energy at 21,077 MMBtu’s for <br />the year. The following figures provide a much more in-depth analysis for government <br />emissions in 2005 by further categorizing each sector into subsectors. <br />Buildings & Facilities Sector Detailed Report  <br />The “Buildings and Facilities” sector is comprised of all facilities owned and operated by the <br />City of University City. Emissions resulting from these facilities originate from the consumption <br />of electricity and natural gas. Table 21 (below) depicts the Scope 1 Buildings and Facilities <br />emissions data, which results from the use of natural gas in these facilities. Collectively, Scope 1 <br />emissions from municipally-owned structures totaled approximately 567 metric tons of CO2e in <br />2005. Comparatively, the Scope 2 Buildings and Facilities emissions totaled approximately <br />2,464 metric tons of CO2e in 2005. Tables 21 and 22 show that the largest emitting government <br />facilities are city hall, the library, the recreation center/swimming pool, and the city hall annex, <br />respectivelyxx. Table 23 provides energy (MBtu) on a per square foot basis (thousands of BTU <br />per square foot). This data helps analyze the energy efficiency of the building. Give the largest <br />per capita energy users. <br /> <br />Table 21: Buildings & Facilities Scope 1 GHG Emissions (Natural gas usage), 2005 <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 29 <br /> <br /> <br />CO₂ <br />(metric <br />tons) <br />N₂O <br />(kg) <br />CH₄ <br />(kg) <br />CO₂e <br />(metric <br />tons) <br />CO₂e <br />(%) (MMBtu)Cost ($) <br />Central Garage 109 0101091.5 2,05027,146 <br />City Hall 148 0141492.0 2,79429,638 <br />City Hall Annex 16 01160.2 2954,030 <br />Community Center 36 03360.5 6827,573 <br />Fire Station 2 33 03330.4 6297,311 <br />Library 58 05580.8 1,09312,333 <br />Parks Maintenance <br />Shop 31 03310.4 5885,468 <br />PW Sign Shop 22 02220.3 4174,419
