Carbon & Nitrogen Footprint History

Campus Carbon Footprint History

Since its development in 2001, the campus carbon footprint tool has been used by thousands of campuses around the world. The original Excel-based campus carbon footprint tool was developed at the University of New Hampshire in 2001 (Figure 1). The tool then moved to the non-profit Clean Air Cool Planet, which launched a food module (CHEFS, which is no longer in use) and the first web-based version of the tool (CarbonMAP). In 2014, the campus carbon footprint tools moved back to the University of New Hampshire Sustainability Institute (UNHSI). SIMAP was launched in 2017 and is proudly operated by staff at UNHSI. To learn more about the people behind the platform see the 'Our Team' page.
