Hairdryers, straighteners and workstations
Their consumption is already part of the electricity bill: it is not added a second time.

Hairdressers and salons
You take care of people. Make room for the planet too.
Know your salon's consumption, reduce emissions where possible, and support projects to offset, documenting the contribution.
The salon in operation
From the workstation to the washing area.
The bill combines many uses together. The calculator starts from there and avoids adding up individual appliances again.
Hot water and washing area
If the water heater is electric, the energy is in the electricity bill; if it is gas-powered, it falls under the declared source.
Laundry and drying
Washing machine and dryer affect consumption through the energy actually billed.
Lighting and air conditioning
Lighting and comfort of the salon are included in the annual total, without estimates per individual appliance.
Readable data starts with the right period.
Twelve full months allow you to read seasonality, air conditioning and the real pace of appointments.
From data to action
Understand, reduce, then offset.
- 01
Data
Collect twelve months of bills and separate the energy sources actually used.
- 02
Estimate
Calculate the CO₂ of consumption with stated factors, units, year and geography.
- 03
Reduction
Review appliances, hours, maintenance, water temperature and washing organisation.
- 04
Documented contribution
The remaining emissions can be complemented by documented projects and retirements, verifiable over time.
Offsetting complements emission reduction. The calculator's result does not prove that a contribution or retirement took place.
Salon calculator
Estimate of the salon's energy consumption emissions.
Enter your bills' annual data. Empty fields remain excluded and no standard consumption is attributed to a service.
Transparent method
How we calculate emissions
For each source we apply annual consumption × kg CO₂ factor per unit. We only sum results expressed in the same CO₂ indicator. We do not arbitrarily convert m³ into kWh and do not include WTT or life cycle.

Included
Purchased electricity and on-site combustion of the stated sources over twelve months, including the energy for hot water already billed.
Excluded
Products and cosmetics, packaging, water, waste, refrigerants, transport, equipment and life cycle.
Primary sources, rows and limits
Electricity: final Italian national consumption factor for 2024 from ISPRA, 192.6 g CO₂/kWh, i.e. 0.1926 kg CO₂/kWh. Natural gas and LPG: only the Scope 1 CO₂ component from DESNZ 2026 used as a UK proxy, respectively 2.02231 kg/m³, 0.18194 kg/kWh GCV and 1.55491 kg/l. No WTT and no summing across different boundaries.
Other aspects to consider
Outside the calculation, not outside the reasoning.
Products and cosmetics
Dyes, shampoos and treatments have an impact that requires supply-chain data: it is not included in the estimate.
Packaging and waste
Bottles, cartons and disposal must be considered separately, with the salon's own specific information.
Water and drainage
The volume of water is not converted into emissions: only the energy consumption to heat it counts here.
Practical tips, not prescriptions
- Turn off hairdryers, straighteners and workstation lights during idle time, without chasing preset numerical targets.
- Schedule towel washes at full load, when the salon's organisation allows it.
- Periodically check filters, seals and hot water temperature with whoever handles maintenance.
- Note consumption month by month: comparing periods is more useful than a generic percentage.
From the till to people
A gesture at the till, a contribution that keeps going.
In the agreed journey, customers can choose to take part; the till prints a code on the receipt to redeem online. Compatibility and configuration must be checked for each management system.
Frequently asked questions
