The winners are chosen on the basis of CO2 facts
Climate Award uddeles til det hotel og konferencecenter som har den laveste CO2 udeledning pr overnattende gæst.
For at sikre en saglig og ens vurdering af hotellernes udledning benyttes klimascore, som er udviklet i samarbejde med ledende klimaeksperter bl.a. fra DTU.
Climate Score is based on documented emissions for the 8 focus areas that have the greatest impact on hotel operations' CO2 emissions. Based on the Climate Score, the jury assesses the individual hotels. The winners in each region and throughout Denmark are selected based on the lowest CO2 emissions.

Fakta er baseret på disse 8 indsatsområder gældende for 1. januar 2022 – 31. december 2022

Energy & Water
Energy and water consumption is calculated by information concerning the energy amounts - like m3 gas, MWh for district heating, kWh for electricity and certificates for electricity and heat or documented of hotel owned sources.
Hotels will have an advantage if they have incorporated heatpumps, isolation or self-igniting lightsources.

Transport
Transport is measured by the hotels locations according to the nearest train station and city. The evaluation takes measures in industry data according to how guest behave during their stay
Hotels that have prioritized EV charging station will experience a significant gain

Food & beverages
The carbon foot print from food and beverages are measured by generel spendings and in 3 main categories. These categories are chosen to cover the food categories with the highest CO2 emission.
Hotels that have incorporated meat alternatives or prioritized poultry is able to reduce their CO2 emission

Waste
Waste is calculated ny the amounts of waste in the years prior.
Hotels that have included actions to minimize food waste and print will have a significant advantage

Hotel purchases
Her beregnes klimaaftrykket udfra oplysning af om hvorvidt hotellet har omlagt til LED, samt hvilke tidligere grønne certifikater der er åbnet og kan vedhæftes som dokumentation.
Hoteller der har arbejdet med tiltag som omlægning af lyskilder og generelt klimaarbejde, kan markant skille sig ud

Services
Beregningen af afftrykket vurderes ud fra mængden af ekstern vask og ud fra branchedata for udledning i forbindelse med vaskeri som service.
Nudging customers to re-use towels will provide an advantage for the hotels
