About the data

This field contains data about scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions for the residential estate. The value can be recorded to three decimal places. This is applicable to higher education providers (HEP) in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Reason required: for advice to Government, monitoring progress towards sector carbon targets and for use in producing Capital Investment Framework (CIF) metrics.
This figure is for the scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions of the residential estate only.

Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from vehicles must be excluded from both Non-residential scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions total and Residential scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions total. A vehicle should not be given a non-residential or residential distinction for the purposes of the Estates management record. This ensures that the scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from vehicles are not double counted within Total scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions.

HEPs will need to enter this figure (as the breakdown collected in Estates management record is not sufficient to enable HESA to calculate this).
