My Findings for FY2010

For the number of students from Susan Moreno as well as www.uh.edu/ir
Full Time: 27,932
Part Time: 10,820
Summer: 14,685

For Facutly given by www.uh.edu/ir: 2,017 (total ranked + other facutly) not TAs.
For Staff given by Ann Pino from HR: 4,136 (hourly staff and monthly staff) not students workers.

Building Space given by Lillian Wanjagi: total= 10,427,720 sqft (number given for whole campus) - 565,589 sqft (research building space)= 9,862,131 sqft

Natural Gas given by Sameer K.: 418,748 MMBtu

Gasoline fleet given by Emmitt Sullivan: Gallons used of Gasoline on Campus (automobiles)
4,100 gallons a month from General Services
From January- October was 35,700 gallons
2,100 gallons a month from UHPD

Calculations:
From General Services Gasoline fleet):
35,700 gallons (given so far)+ (4,100 gal/month x 2 months (november and december))= 43,900 gallons
From UHPD:
2,100 gal/month x 12 months/yr= 25,200 gallons
TOTAL: 43,900 + 25,200= 69,100 gal/yr

Diesel Fleet (From on Campus AFC shuttle buses): 78,540 gal/yr

Other Fleet given by Tuan Tran: Number of vehicles 341.
1 Propane Cart
28 E85+ Cart
50 Electric Cart
1 Solar Cart(doesn't count)
261 automobiles (341 - the all above)

Calculations:
Estimated distance in miles per cart per year:
8 miles/day (2 miles roundtrip (google earth from general services building to the UC), estimated 4 trips a day) x 5 days/wk x 50 wks/yr= 2,000 miles/yr
Propane Carts= 1 cart x 2,000 miles/yr x 20 miles/gal (estimate)= 100 gallons/yr
E85+ Carts= 28 carts x 2,000 miles/yr x 25 miles/gal (estimate, better milage than Propane Carts)= 2,240 gallons/yr
Electric Carts= 50 carts x 2,000 miles/yr x 0.3 kWh/mile (estimated from internet)= 30,000 kWh/yr

Refrigerants and Chemicals given by Emmitt Sullivan:
1,180 lbs HFC-134a
61 lbs HFC-404a
181 lbs HCFC-22
692 lbs R-410A
2,080 lbs R-123

Fertilizer: 10,000 lbs (same every year, but ask Sameer K.), 15% Nitrogen

Electricity given by Sameer K.: 205,153,732 kWh
Steam (don't know where I obtain this, someone gave it to me): 328,425 MMBtu

Faculty and Staff Commute:
Automobile:
5656 (total facutly and staff - bus riders) x 10 miles/day (estimate) x 5 days/wk x 50 wk/yr= 14,140,000 miles/yr
Bus:
500 (estimate that take the bus) x 15 miles/day (estimate) x 5 days/wk x 50 wks/yr= 1,875,000 miles/yr
You can also find out how many facutly and staff have METRO Q-Cards and do it that way.

Student Commute:
From Bob Browand: Percent Mode of Transportation and Percent Travel Time
1.2% Bike
10.93% Carpool (counts as Car)
3.45% Bus
77.66% Car
6.79% Walk
so 88.59% actually drive

28.41% 0-20 minute commute one way
51.67% 21-40 minute commute one way
15.32% 41-60 minute commute one way
4.6% 60+ minute commute one way

Calculations:
Automobile:
For 0-20 minutes (o-0.3 hrs, average 0.15):
0.15 hrs x 25 mph x 2 trips x 34,328 (38,750 students x 88.59% actually drive) x .2841 (28.41% that it takes that amount of time to travel)= 73,144 miles
For 21-40 minutes (.31-.67 hrs, average 0.49)
0.49 hrs x 25 mph x 2 trips x 34,328 x .5167= 434,563 miles
For 41-60 minutes (.68-1 hrs, average 0.84)
.84 hrs x 25 mph x 2 trips x 34,328 x .1532= 220,880 miles
For 1+ hrs ( estimated average1.15 hrs)
1.15 hrs x 25 mph x 2 trips x 34,328 x .046= 90,797 miles
Total: 819,384 miles x 3 days/wk (average) x 32 wks/yr= 78,660,864

Bus:
1,337 (38750 x 3.45% take the bus) x 15 miles/day x 3 days/wk x 32 wks/yr= 1,925,100 miles
You can also find out how many students have METRO Q-Cards and do it that way.

Waste Water given by Sameer K.: 329,650,000 gallons aerobic central treatment system

Paper given by Stephanie Pulido stephanie@tbstx.com
201,400 lbs 0% recycled
42,600 lbs 25% recycled
4,200 lbs 50% recycled
4,200 lbs 100% recycled

That concludes my finding for the FY2010.
