The calculator will gather and present emissions data from SilverDoor ’ s extensive property operator network in a clear and simple way .
The SilverDoor Carbon Calculator has been built to benchmark serviced accommodation operators ’ own data with a specific focus on the most critical fields . Using their proprietary methodology , SilverDoor estimates what CO2 emissions can be attributed to a night ’ s stay in an apartment . This includes the total area of each apartment as well as the wider building , electricity , gas and oil use , total area of climate-controlled space , water consumption , and laundry management .
“ The first phase of the tool focuses on just the most critical datapoints needed to estimate the CO2e of a night in an apartment : energy consumption , building areas , and average occupancy . It ’ s relatively straightforward and accessible to any property operator regardless of their size or the resources available to them .”
