Envirometer Housing Associations
This pages shows the environmental impact of an average office of a housing corporation, translated into graphs and efficiency indicators by the Envirometer. This concerns the housing corporation’s own operations: office buildings including any transport of a maintenance service.
The pie chart shows the distribution of the environmental impact. The biggest environmental impact consists of electricity, commuter traffic and freight transport, followed by business traffic and heating. Waste, emissions water and office paper are included but have a smaller impact.
