The Furnished Accommodation Carbon Calculation Tool (FAACT), formerly known as the CHPA Carbon Calculator, was developed by the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) in partnership with Greenview to help the furnished accommodation sector measure and manage its carbon footprint.

Built on Greenview’s sustainability and carbon accounting expertise, the tool provides an accessible and standardized framework for CHPA members and the wider corporate housing community to:

• Quantify emissions from energy use, travel, and daily operations
• Identify key emission sources and reduction opportunities
• Report progress consistently across the value chain[ER1] 

FAACT was designed to be used by different audiences for a variety of purposes:

• Corporate housing buyers and clients can receive verified carbon footprint data for specific units or completed stays.
• Prospective clients can obtain estimated emissions to support sustainability-driven RFP responses.
• Operators and agents can calculate average emissions by unit type or configuration (e.g., two-room aparthotel units).
• Operators and agents can generate an annual carbon inventory of all units entered into the tool, enabling clear tracking and benchmarking year over year.

By starting from the individual unit level and scaling up to the portfolio level, FAACT provides a powerful, practical way for the sector to deliver credible carbon data, respond to client requests, and advance collective decarbonization goals.
