Project-based life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions inventory of a 3MW solar facility for development in highway right of way. Good Company completed the life-cycle greenhouse gas inventory of the Oregon Department of Transportation Solar Highway Program’s proposed design concept of the 3MW West Linn solar facility, the largest solar facility developed in the highway right of way. Emissions sources considered included embodied emissions from the production of the PV panels, other construction and maintenance materials and engineering services; tailpipe emissions from construction and ongoing maintenance actvities; displaced grid electricity generation emissions from the project’s solar power generation over 30 years; grid electricity emissions from onsite use by lights and security cameras; and recycling of PV panels and construction materials at the decommissioning of the project.

Most comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory for higher education campus. Good Company conducted the most comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions inventory for the operations of University of Texas at Austin serving 48,000 students, including the 40-acre campus and more than ten million square feet of building space. The final inventory includes customized methodology to estimate embodied supply-chain emissions from material flows and purchases by the university using economic input-output life cycle assessment (EIO-LCA). The inventory is now integrated with on-going energy efficiency investments, and serves as the foundation for the university’s sustainability and climate action plan. View the inventory. |

Multi-campus university system greenhouse gas inventory and climate action planning. Oregon University System, consisting of seven public, four-year universities, has set an example of sustainability and climate commitment by engaging Good Company in three phases of work: (1) facilitation of a sustainability plan, (2) development of a seven-campus system-wide greenhouse gas inventory, and (3) assistance in climate action planning and strategy implementation support. Each phase of work addressed the high-consensus sustainability indicators of a system in order to facilitate cross-institutional collaboration, assessment and performance in areas that outstrip the purview or capacity of each individual institution.
