This calculator estimates the carbon emissions of IT infrastructure at the University of Zürich. By default, it assumes a user population of 38,000 people (28,000 students, 10,000 staff).

The model should be generally applicable to other similar campuses. Edit any of the parameters below to explore different scenarios.
