Australian Greenhouse Calculator
The AGC is a free and easy-to-use program to help households compare the impact of making lifestyle changes and/or investing in energy-efficient products – cutting both their greenhouse gas emissions and living costs.
The AGC aims to empower households by offering accurate and relevant information to help them see how their activities contribute to their carbon footprint.
The AGC covers 11 lifestyle categories - transport, air travel, heating and cooling, hot water, clothes dryer, lighting, refrigeration, cooking, other appliances, food and shopping, waste – which can be completed in either a "quick" or "detailed" mode.
The "quick" mode can be completed in 15 minutes, for a general but thorough overview of greenhouse impact.
The "detailed" mode offers a full range of technical and behavioural options, for the ultimate domestic sustainability enthusiast.
Not just for households, the Australian Greenhouse Calculator is also an ideal tool for education, community engagement and encouraging sustainable business practice.
The calculator is available for free online
