Carbon Calculator

Going Green is nothing new for the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) with a recent initiative consolidating the Centre as champions for environmental sustainability.

The services of our custom made Carbon Calculator deliver clients the opportunity to measure the carbon footprint of their events and to stage carbon neutral events.

Designed in conjunction with the Carbon Reduction Institute (CRI), the Carbon Calculator takes into account room occupancy, menu selection, event services and is applicable for all events.

The online calculator is a free service provided by the Centre to assist clients in reducing the impact of their events on the environment.

If requested, the Centre will also source high quality carbon credits to offset the emissions from your events through the Centre’s two partners, Climate Friendly and Carbon Reduction Institute, for as little as $2 per person.

Events to use the Carbon Calculator include:

• Cisco Networkers
• National Restaurant and Catering Awards
• 2009 Queensland Sustainability Industries Awards
• South Bank Staff Event
• Sexpo
• LGAQ (Local Government Association of Queensland)
• GHD Christmas Event

The on-line Carbon Calculator is easy to access. Just talk to your Sales or Event Planning Manager or for more general information on the Centre's Sustainability practices click here.

‘The Carbon Calculator made our decision to build a carbon neutral event very easy with detailed documents from the Carbon Reduction Institute explaining how every aspect is worked out.’
