Figure 1: Graph of Community GHG Emissions by Sector, 2005i <br />CO2e (% of Total Community  <br />Emissions) <br />Residential‐44.8% <br />Commercial‐18.0% <br />Industrial‐1.1% <br />Transportation‐31.6% <br />Waste‐3.2% <br />Other‐1.2% <br /> <br />Government Operations Emissions Inventory  <br />The City of University City’s <br />government operations emitted <br />approximately 7,484 metric tons of CO2e <br />in the year 2005. These municipal <br />emissions constituted approximately <br />1.43 percent of the community’s total <br />GHG emissions. “This is not unusual, <br />local governments typically account for <br />approximately two percent of <br />community levels.”iii <br />While the municipal operations only <br />constitute a minor contributor to the <br />city’s total emissions, the local <br />government is in the best position to <br />encourage community-wide GHG <br />emissions reductions through “leading <br />by example”. <br />Table 2: Summary Report of Government GHG Emissions, 2005 <br />Subsectors <br />CO₂ <br />(metric <br />tons) <br />N₂O (kg) CH₄ (kg) <br />CO₂e <br />(metric <br />tons) <br />CO₂e <br />(%) <br />Energy <br />Use <br />(MMBtu) <br />Cost ($) <br />Buildings & <br />Facilities 3,016 42 823,03140.5 20,738300,174 <br />Streetlights & <br />Traffic Signals 2,284 38 262,29630.7 9,387562,669 <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 8 <br /> <br />Figure 2: Graph of 2005 Government  <br />Operations GHG Emissions by Sector <br />Buildings & Facilities‐41% <br />Streetlights & Traffic Signals‐30.7% <br />Solid Waste Facilites‐0.5% <br />Vehicle Fleet‐12.7% <br />Employee Commute‐15% <br />Mobile Source Refridgerants‐0.5%
