Changelog

The GreenCalculus changelog is the public audit trail for every substantive change to our emissions calculators, methodology pages, the MasterBrain data layer, and platform infrastructure, logged day by day as it ships. Each entry records what changed, the old and new values, and the governing source (GHG Protocol, IPCC AR6, DEFRA 2025, PCAF, and others), so practitioners can trace any factor back to its standard and edition.

Entries are authored by Jeremiah Say and verified by the GreenCalculus Engineering pipeline before publication. Subscribe to the RSS feed to track factor source updates, and see what is due next on the update schedule. Spotted an error?
