Research of low-carbon campus model of Central South University
On the background of advocating green ideas and building low-carbon society,colleges and universities should be the pioneer of low-carbon life.To build a low-carbon campus,which should be established on the basis of the original model of colleges,and regard the campus as a system then to research its materials input,output and recycle.Besides,it should choose the carbon dioxide emissions as an indicator to assess the operations of campus system at present.At meantime,build a sound environment-friendly management system and put forward targeted recommendations on improvement measures.In this paper,regard Central South University(CSU)as the economic system,combining Material Flow Analysis and Carbon Footprint Theory,calculate the original carbon dioxide emissions of CSU about material and energy in input,output and recycle,then build the CSU low-carbon campus system with specific recommendations.Thus contributing to a campus of low-carbon and sustainable development.
