How do you calculate emissions from events?
We calculate the emissions from your event by combining the information you enter with data from the US government. We use transportation data from the BTS, building energy data from the EIA, and emissions data from the EPA to help estimate the impact of your event. Our calculation methods are flexible, so we make the best estimate possible based on the level of information you’ve provided.
