Carbon Calculation Tool

MEASURE & REPORT

About the Tool

The Furnished Accommodation Carbon Calculation Tool (FACCT) powered by CHPA was developed by CHPA’s Sustainability Workgroup and calculation tool founding members. This work adapts the Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative (HCMI) to the context of the corporate housing and serviced accommodation industry. It is the outcome of a consultative process from October 2024 to January 2025, where workgroup members provided feedback over multiple rounds of consultation.

To meet growing demands from customers and stakeholders for more accurate information on sustainability, CHPA has launched a pioneering industry-wide initiative to develop a Carbon Calculator and accompanying methodology. This helps provide a common approach for the corporate housing industry to calculate and better understand the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of accommodations in global mobility and business travel. Both the Tool and Methodology are intended for use as version 1.0, and will continue to be improved on and expanded based on future consultations and discussions.

The CHPA Carbon Calculator is provided as an informational tool to help users estimate their carbon footprint. CHPA makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy or applicability of results for regulatory or compliance purposes. All inputs remain confidential and are used solely for the purpose of generating the carbon footprint estimate. By using the carbon calculator, you agree the data shared with CHPA may be aggregated and disclosed by CHPA for the purpose of providing industry estimates regarding carbon use. CHPA will not share, sell or distribute any identifiable information provided in relation to the carbon calculator. When reporting results from the carbon calculator externally, we agree to disclose that the CHPA Carbon Calculator was the source of the estimate or number. Any optional contact details that we submit for inquiries or support will be used only for direct communication regarding the CHPA Carbon Calculator. CHPA is not liable for any decisions or actions taken based on the carbon calculator’s output. CHPA reserves the right to update these terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the carbon calculator constitutes acceptance of any revised terms.

FACCT is intended for all corporate housing and serviced accommodation companies. It can be used to:
  • Provide corporate housing buyers/clients with the carbon footprint of a specific unit or all units purchased, for existing buyers where the stays have already been completed.
  • Provide prospective buyers/clients with estimated carbon footprint to allow operators and agents to responds to RFPs.
  • Provide operators and agents with the average emissions of each unit configuration (ex. 2-room aparthotel unit).
  • Provide operates and agents with an inventory of the carbon footprint of all units added to the tool for the calendar year.
  • Provide agents with a tool and resources to share with their supply chain to gather this common approach for calculation among their supply chain.

THE FUTURE OF FACCT

Looking ahead, the future of our carbon calculator is set to deliver even greater impact through innovation and integration. We are developing a powerful software tool that will enable seamless online reporting—whether directly through our platform, integrated within property management software or connected with relevant agencies. This streamlined approach will make carbon reporting easier, more consistent and more actionable for providers across the sector. All data collected will be centrally reported to CHPA, helping us drive industry-wide insights, enhance accountability and support meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future.

If you or your organization are interested in supporting Phase II of this project—whether through financial contributions or by participating in user testing—we invite you to connect with us directly at info@chpaonline.org Your involvement will help shape a tool that benefits the entire industry.
