The New York Times: New software will allow UB to measure emissions at the building level

An article in The New York Times about software that allows companies and governments to input emissions data, analyze it in charts and receive recommendations on how to cut heat-trapping gases reports UB is planning to measure emissions at the building level for the first time using a new product called Carbon Impact. The article quotes Jim Simon, UB's environmental educator, who said the university is contemplating a carbon footprint competition among various university departments, a task that would have been virtually impossible a year ago.
