It is important for universities to do acts toward control the greenhouse gas emission based on energy consumption while performing activities. Therefore, there is need to know the components of carbon footprint. Electric energy, natural gas energy, and various oils as the energy consumption components in these institutions were scrutinized. Petrol, diesel fuel, and fuel oil were utilized as types of oil. It is seen that the component which considerably specifies the carbon footprint is 3.161.238 ton CO2 value and electric energy. Natural gas and fuel oil use contribute to carbon footprint at high ratios in winter months especially arising from heating. 361 ton CO2 based on natural gas use and 1.256.445 ton CO2 based on fuel oil use are other components which specify the carbon footprint. As a result, the primary carbon footprint for Batman University was determined by IPCC Methodology and Tier 1 approach; it is 3.162.855,445 ton CO2 for 2017eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesCarbon FootprintGlobal Climate ChangeTier ApproachArticle91114120
