Amount of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Daily Activities of Students from the Faculty of Architecture and Design

Abstract

This research aimed to study the daily activities of students in the Faculty of Architecture and Design and to calculate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the daily activities of students in the Faculty of Architecture and Design. The sample group of volunteers used in this research was 304 students in the Faculty of Architecture and Design, using the accidental sampling method from a population of 810 people. A questionnaire was used as the research tool to inquire about various activities of students in the Faculty of Architecture and Design that would affect the release of greenhouse gases. The results of the study found that 1) The daily activities of the Faculty of Architecture and Design students that meet the requirements for data to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions were mostly from cooking activities, accounting for 65.06 percent, followed by transportation activities, use of teaching and learning materials, and electricity and water consumption, accounting for 26.31, 6.89, and 1.74 percent, respectively. 2) The total greenhouse gas emissions from the daily activities of students in the Faculty of Architecture and Design was 1,900.76 tCO₂e/year, or        an average of 6.25 tCO₂e/person/year.
