Calculate the carbon footprint of a hotel stay.
Hotel emissions scale with the energy a room consumes, and luxury properties use several times more per guest because of larger rooms, pools and air conditioning. Budget accommodation is markedly lower. Accommodation is usually a small share of trip emissions compared with flying, but for long stays it can rival a short-haul flight.
