Reporting year ending (Month/Year)

The 12-month data period is defined by each company internally. The most recent month within the company’s defined 12-month period is not to exceed nine months from the date of calculation.

For example, if calculations are performed and communicated to stakeholders in July 2022, the data set could be no later than December 2020 - November 2021.

The calculation must be done once per year using a 12-months data set. This is also valid if the business operates on a seasonal basis.

Green Key ID (Optional)

Please enter your Green Key ID if you are a Green Key certified establishment. You can find the ID on your Green Key Certificate or by asking your Green Key Contact Person.

This field is optional and only applies to Green Key certified establishments.

Country / Region

The emission factors (EFs) used in this tool are the same referenced by the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance in the HCMI V2.0, except for those countries with no available EF. The EFs of these countries have been calculated by our team, using the EFs world average as a basis.

Please find the list of countries with an approximated EF at this link:
Countries with world average EFs.

Please enter the emission factor for Purchased Electricity (PPA) in country/region ONLY if you select "PPA" as an energy source in the consumption section below.

Unit of Measurement for areas

Area can be entered in square meters or square feet, as long as reported values are consistent throughout the report.

Total area of guest rooms and corridors

m²

Total area of meeting facility space

m²

Total area of conditioned space

Area of a hotel that is conditioned by any heating, ventilations, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. For the purpose of this calculation tool, "conditioned area" is the total area, which includes rooms and corridors area, meeting space area, remaining conditioned area (remaining areas of heart of house, spa, retail, fitness, public space, restaurants, etc.).

m²

Total number of guest rooms

Total number of occupied rooms for reporting year

Sum of all rooms occupied in the reporting period (complimentary rooms that were occupied but not paid for are included) minus no-shows.

Energy Consumption

Consumption data based on actual meter readings is preferable as energy bills can be inaccurate or based on estimated readings. It is good practice to take your own meter readings to measure your energy consumption and verify the accuracy of your energy bills. Meter readings should be scheduled to coincide with carbon monitoring and reporting periods. Meter readings should be taken at regular intervals and a process should be in place to record the readings.

Estimating data consumption: If you do not have data for the entire year, you may estimate your consumption based on the following estimation techniques (Source: UK Environment Agency):

Pro rata estimation technique involves quantifying the missing data for a data gap using a proportional method based on actual consumption from another similar period.
Direct comparison method uses data that corresponds with a similar period of supply. The advantage of this is that it accommodates variability in energy demand.
Price settlement: using the unit price shown on an earlier bill for this billing period or an average price per unit to convert energy costs into consumption data.

For each of the selected energy types, please indicate the total consumption for all your premises, including any outdoors facilities, or private apartments. Any consumption derived by the private space will be deducted automatically in the calculations.

Vehicles and Equipment

Would you like to include fuel consumption of all vehicles and other equipment (such as landscaping equipment)?

Please add your consumption data into the Energy Consumption section above. Energy consumption from the use of transport vehicles and other mobile equipment should be included as mobile fuels.

Your total carbon footprint will be uplifted by 1%.

Private Space

Please check this box if you have private space not accessible by guests.

It should be considered as private space:

An area not accessible to hotel guests or conference attendees (e.g. private apartments).
An area not related to the hotel (e.g. spaces leased to a third party (e.g. restaurants, shops, etc.).
On-site staff accommodation.

Are you able to provide the energy consumption of the private space?

Please note that actual/estimated private space consumption will not be included in the calculations.

Are you able to provide the area of private space as a % of the total conditioned area?

Market-based Renewable Electricity Purchases

Energy and heat purchased from a supplier using renewable sources (e.g. green electricity supplier, Renewable Energy Certificates).

Electricity purchased from a supplier generating electricity from renewable sources. HCMI follows Scope 2 protocol for market-based reporting only (not location-based). The amount of renewable electricity supplied should be verifiable through mechanisms such as Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) or Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Certificates origin are recommended as the most robust source of data. In case certificates are not available, please refer to the energy mix or share of renewables disclosed on energy bills.

Please check this box if you would like to input market-based renewable electricity purchased from suppliers using renewable sources, in kWh (e.g., green electricity supplier, Renewable Energy Certificates).

Outsourced Laundry

Please check this box if your laundry is outsourced.

Your laundry is outsourced if this service is performed by a third party external to the hotel.

Can you get your share of the energy consumption from your laundry contractor for the reporting year?

The estimated amount of energy used by your supplier to wash and dry your laundry. For example, if your supplier's total electricity consumption for the year is 100,000 kWh and you represent 10% of their business, your share of electricity consumption is: 10,000 kWh. The same calculations should be carried out for any other sources of energy used by the laundry contractor.

Do you know your laundry tonnage?

If your laundry contractor is not able to provide your share of the energy consumption, the next best alternative is to estimate the energy consumption by providing your laundry tonnage in a 12 months period. The estimates are based on Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator - Guide to the laundries sector (CTG064). If the two options above are not available to you, the tool will estimate your energy consumption by assuming laundry tonnage to be an average of 11.3 lbs per occupied room (Source: Laundry Today). This is equivalent to: 0.0051256 metric tonnes per occupied room.

Your laundry tonnage will be automatically estimated based on the number of occupied rooms.

Refrigerants

Have you conducted maintenance on your air conditioning systems/refrigeration units during the reporting year and do you need to add refrigerant leakage fugitive emissions?

These are emissions that are not physically controlled and result from the intentional or unintentional releases of GHGs. They commonly arise from the production, processing, transmission, storage, and use of fuels and other chemicals, often through joints, seals, packing, gaskets, etc. (GHG Protocol Definition). For example - emissions from refrigerants, air conditioning, and refrigeration units.

If you do not know the exact amount of refrigerant added to the system, you can choose to simply uplift the total emission to 1%.

Is the refrigerant gas used in your systems one of the following?
HCFC-22/R22(chlorodifluoromethane), HFC-134a/R-134A, R-404A, R-410A HFC-23, HFC-32, HFC-4,HFC-125, HFC-134,HFC-143,HFC-143a,HFC-152a,HFC-227ea, HFC-236fa, HFC-245fa, HFC-43-10mee, HFC-152, HFC-161, HFC-236cb, HFC-236ea, HFC-245ca, HFC-365mfc, R407A, R407C, R407F, R408A, R507A, R508B, R403A,HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HCFC-141b, HCFC-142b, HCFC-225ca, HCFC-225cb, HCFC-21, R290 (propane), R600A (isobutane), R406A, R409A, R502.

Your total carbon footprint will be uplifted by 1%. No further calculations are required.
