Some countries will not have actual median figures available, due to limitations in the raw data received for CHSB. The carbon footprint per occupied room (kg CO2e)
[Measure 1] and the carbon footprint per sqm/hour of meeting space (kg CO2e)
[Measure 7] for these countries are extrapolated using the following data points:
- the global average carbon footprint per occupied room (kg CO2e) [Measure 1]
- the global average carbon footprint per sqm/hour of meeting space (kg CO2e) [Measure 7]
- the percentage of energy from electric sources for each country
- the percentage of energy from non-electric sources for each country
- the purchased electricity emission factor for each country
- the global weighted average of purchased electricity emission factors
For more information on the data set and the extrapolation methodology, please contact us at
data@greenview.sgWhile we understand that global extrapolations are broad and high-level figures, we believe that the HFT produces more accurate and reliable data than other existing hotel footprinting methods because of the extensive CHSB source data. Furthermore, as the CHSB data set grows in reach and depth over time, we will be able to reduce extrapolation, while expanding coverage in the remaining countries that still require it for footprinting exercises (e.g. by increasing the number of properties per country and number of countries with actual data).
