We regularly review and update how we calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to account for new releases of emission factor datasets, updates to the GHG Protocol, and the continuous evolution of our methodology. Additionally, we sometimes create new measurement workbooks to allow BEE refinement users to better take advantage of these methodology updates.
Users can upgrade to the latest methodology version and/or workbook by scrolling to the bottom of the Measure pillar. You should see indicators here of your current BEE methodology version and your current workbook version, if applicable, as well as buttons to request upgrades.
See below for what’s included in the latest version of the BEE, learn more about why we make periodic updates here, and dive into our full methodology documentation here.
