Klaus K Launches First Carbon Footprint Calculator for Finland Hotels

Oct 21, 2009

The four-year-old Klaus K Hotel, Finland's first design and lifestyle hotel, is also the first hotel in the country to provide information on environmental impact with its carbon footprint calculator. The calculator enables guests to calculate their carbon footprint per night of their stay.

One of the most significant environmental impacts generated by hotels is carbon emissions, which consist of direct and indirect emissions of electricity, heating energy, water, and waste consumption. According to ecompter.com, average carbon dioxide emission for a one-night stay at a hotel is between 10 and 30 kg CO2e, the equivalent of 60 to 180 kilometers by a car using fuel.
