Accommodation Carbon Calculator
Let’s measure your carbon footprint.
It should take 10-15 minutes to complete these questions.
The information you provide will be used to estimate the total annual carbon footprint of your accommodation. We will then calculate your estimated carbon footprint per room per night. We will share the results with you at the end.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Electricity consumption
Fuel (gas, oil, coal, wood, etc) consumption
General information about your operations
-
We do not need an answer to every question, nor do we need perfect answers. The more accurate your answers are, the more accurate the results will be, but do not let perfection get in the way of progress. You can edit your answers later too, so if you’re waiting for a reply from a colleague, please save your progress and come back to it later.
