Scope of Low-Carbon Energy Tracking
SDG 13.2.1 concerns measuring the amount of low-carbon energy used. An energy efficiency policy or general consumption tracking is distinct from measuring low-carbon energy by source. The assessment also considers whether measurement covers the whole university or specific campuses.
