Our Review:
This tool was satisfying to use and I highly recommend it for indoor events.
A unique feature is that it requires all users to go through an e-learning short course before accessing the tool, to upskill on climate change and GHGs comprehension.
This tool has handy features such as being able to add multiple log ins to the one account allowing collaboration in measurement. You can also replace emissions factors or add in your own new categories which makes this tool very adjustable.
Energy: It has a complex approach to work out energy consumption estimates, which is helpful for those events with venues that won’t or can’t provide kWh. It asks building type and age, venue size, number of days used, what type of heating, green energy produced onsite, and the season of the year. It also collects gas used as a separate data point. You can also choose to input actual data (kWh) or litres of fuel for generators.
Travel: The overall approach to travel measurement is the number of trips, the distance and by mode. It splits travel to the event as a separate data category to travel during/around the event, which is a nice feature as when doing travel analysis you would certainly look at it this way. Travel to the event venue from the hotel is calculated within the accommodation section. It splits attendee travel separately from staff/crew which is helpful.
Flights: The tool asks which distance zone flights are in, and then the actual round trip distance per person. The zoning allows the tool to select the emissions factor (EF) and then the actual distance entered will be multiplied by that EF.
Accommodation: The tool asks for number of overnight stays, by type of accommodation. It has the star rating for hotels, which other tools have, but uniquely, Climeet also includes other lodging styles. It includes the distance to the event from the accommodation and mode of travel and includes the GHGs for this travel within this GHG category.
