Analytical Review of Carbon Footprinting at R V College of Engineering

This particular study presents an overall measurement of the net Carbon Footprint of RV College of Engineering, to understand sustainability and green practices. The study uses a 4-Prong Measurement method using 3 types of emissions (Direct, Indirect and Energy Emissions) and carbon sequestration of in-campus flora. Using campus data surveys and energy emission calculations from various sources on campus, an estimate of the carbon footprint has been obtained. The study aims to promote carbon neutrality and sustainable infrastructure to be applied across the Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) of the Indian Subcontinent using RVCE as a lighthouse for the various institutions of the same.
