CarePar - The Hotel Carbon Index |
|
The CarePar process takes physical and variable data from an hotel or venue and uses it to calculate the carbon weight generated in a single room night or period use of a function or meeting room.
Over time as hotels re-submit their variable data their indices are recalculated, and improvements in environmental impact logged. The data is available in a variety of formats to be used by individual travellers, Companies and Intermediaries (Hotel Booking Agencies or Travel Management Companies) to calculate the carbon cost of their hotel usage and to inform purchasing decisions. How CarePar Works Hotels and venues pay a nominal annual fee to participate. They provide a range of constant and dynamic data that is used to calculate a unit measurement of the carbon cost of an individual night use of a room (this varies by room type & size) or a half day use of a meeting or function room. Over time they re-submit the dynamic data to allow for seasonal variations and changes in their energy management programme.
Participating hotels receive a certificate of their rating, to support their CSR statements. The data is made available via this website in cooperation with The Carbon Consultancy – partners in carePAR and recognised leaders in the field of environmental travel management.
Several leading hotels around the world partticipate in this program.
