Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the gaseous pollutant concentrations resulting from the natural gas-powered central heating at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) main campus, on the basis of limited emission and meteorological data. For this reason, a methodology was compiled addressing emissions and concentration levels as a function of a set of meteorological scenarios: Emissions were estimated based on campus operational conditions and concentration levels were calculated by employing Gaussian plume model approach via an in-house implementation in Python. The necessary climatic conditions were used to compile a sum of 1080 different weather–dispersion model scenarios. Obtained results allowed for the adequate analysis of the geospatial distribution of pollutants. Concentration levels were estimated to be below relevant limit values but dependent on the prevailing meteorological conditions.
