Personal Carbon Footprint Calculation Guide

National or lifestyle averages can provide context, but they are not a substitute for personal bills and activity records. Define the year, household allocation, and included categories before comparing results.

• Home electricity and heating
• Private and public transport
• Flights
• Food patterns and waste
• Goods and services

• Appliance impact: energy and estimated CO₂e from wattage and daily use.
• Transparent formula: calculation steps and electricity factor.
• Local records: analysis history stored on the device.
• Verified savings: change based on comparable user-entered meter readings.
• Daily tasks: optional environmental reminders.
• Account control: local-data clearing and permanent account deletion.

CarbonCAM does not yet calculate a complete personal footprint across every category.
