Abstract

This paper investigated the assessment of carbon dioxide emissions in academic organizations affiliated with the Faculty of Science, Energy, and Environment at King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok in Rayong campus, and presented business intelligence strategies to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. We calculate the tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂ eq) for 2 years (2023-2024) of data from surveys, sources, and various activities responsible for CO₂ emissions, presenting the results through charts on the dashboard in a visually compelling and understandable way. According to the study, total CO₂ emissions are 484.96 tons CO₂ eq, with the top four sources of CO₂ emissions being electricity, R410a, Diesel fuel, and garbage, respectively. Based on business intelligence methodologies, several strategies for reducing CO₂ emissions have been evaluated and identified, including immediate reduction measures, assigning responsibility and implementing monitoring, collaboration with specialists, raising awareness and promoting communication, and fostering innovation and incentives.
