Abstract
Introduction. This article introduces a model to estimate emissions produced by work and study commuting
at an institutional level, along with an application case at Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor de Antioquia.
Objective. Develop a methodology based on the simplified emissions estimation model (SEEM), which uses
the emission factors developed in Bogotá and that are available on the international model of the International
Vehicle Emissions (IVE) database. The primary information was collected by the use of surveys developed by
the institutional community. Those surveys included questions about the characteristics of the vehicles used by
students, professors and administration staff for their commuting from and to the institution. Results. With
the results obtained thanks to the implementation of the methodology developed, it was concluded that the
institution contributes with less than 0,025 % of the total emissions in the Aburrá Valley. Several scenarios are
proposed to control the atmosphere pollution produced by commuting from and to the institution, by means
of rationalizing the use of private cars, thus obtaining up to 29 % in reductions of the criteria pollutants: MP, CO,
VOC, SO2
and NOx. Conclusions.The methodology is easy to apply and it is also easy to transfer it to other
institutions or companies with different sizes and traffic flows.
