Eco-Conscious Hotel Calculators

SilverDoor has taken a significant step toward promoting sustainability in business travel by introducing its carbon calculator. This innovative tool empowers clients to make environmentally conscious choices when booking accommodation. The calculation utilizes data from various factors such as the total area of the apartment and the broader building, electricity, gas, and oil usage, the overall area of climate-controlled space, and laundry management practices.

Beyond the CO2 emissions score, clients can access details about in-room recycling, solar panels, and smart lighting. SilverDoor's ability to provide specific, per-night CO2 emission estimates tailored to each building allows business travelers to choose how sustainable they want their stay to be. Furthermore, the calculator compares this data with an equivalent hotel stay, drawing on the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index information.
