Series: Greenhouse gas-neutral administrations | Umweltbundesamt

In the context of the TES Academy transformation companionship process on “Greenhouse gas-neutral administrations: Empowering professionals from public administrations to become role models of transformation” we organize a Virtual TES series on related current topics. During every inspirational session two keynote speakers will share their view on a joint topic and present their proposals and best practices. Questions, opinions and further ideas of the participants will then be discussed to inspire them to use the experiences and to foster the debate and the development of collaborations.

Greenhouse gas-neutral administrations: The E-Tool: A web-based CO2 calculator for the skilled-crafts, culture and other social and economic sectors

13 June 2024 14:00 - 15:30 CET

The E-Tool is an online portal that allows organisations to easily enter and track consumption data for resources such as electricity, gas, purchased materials, transport processes etc. in order to identify the organisations greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint). The systematic data collection process provides an important and reliable baseline for monitoring concepts as well as an evidence base for targeted efficiency measures and investments. Several additional tools cater for specific user needs, e.g. a survey tool for the quick and easy recording and evaluation of audience arrivals and departures or a tool for an initial assessment and profitability of photovoltaic systems. Our speakers will demonstrate the use of the tool and share their thoughts on the relevance, design and application of the instrument from a user and a developer perspective:

• Dr Andrea Hensel (Officer for Transformation and Sustainability in Culture, Department of Strategic Cultural Policy of the City of Leipzig)
• Marcel Quinten (CEO of the Saar-Lor-Lux Umweltzentrum GmbH)
