Using the TRACE online calculator

TRACE is designed to simplify capturing event carbon and waste information, and visualise this for your clients and stakeholders in post event reporting. By entering estimations at the start of your planning process the potential impact of your event can be predicted before going on to site. The in-app reduction tips and responsive dashboard allow you to understand the carbon impact of different design choices to help you make informed decisions and begin reducing your environmental impact right away. You can duplicate your event to keep the estimate separate or just revisit the data entry sections at any time to add more accurate data, and once your event is over it can be ‘closed’ to save your final footprint using the most up to date scientific methods. This allows you to offset your final emissions and track your reductions over time, a key requisite in working towards Net Zero.
