Envirometer office
This pages shows the environmental impact of an average office, translated into graphs and efficiency indicators by the Envirometer.
The pie chart shows which environmental themes have the largest impact. The biggest environmental impact consists of electricity and commuter traffic, followed by business traffic and heating. Waste, emissions, water and office paper are included but have a smaller impact.
