If your data hasn&#8217;t changed, you&#8217;ll get the existing report back instead of a new one.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That same principle explains the limit on how many times a year you can <a href=\"https:\/\/fairhospitality.coop\/en\/fairhospitality-toolset-user-guide\/the-footprint-module\/publishing-and-requesting-a-check\/\">publish<\/a>. Every publication triggers the calculation and AI analysis again. Three times is plenty to correct a mistake, and it keeps the number of unnecessary recalculations low.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green servers, and AI that runs on them too<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site and the AI analyses run with a provider that uses renewable energy. That doesn&#8217;t solve everything, as an AI model always costs energy, but it makes a significant difference compared to the standard choice.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also don&#8217;t use AI for everything. Only where a model truly adds something a calculation can&#8217;t: reading a document, summarizing a website, or formulating advice. Numbers are simply calculated.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lightweight pages<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No heavy images, no trackers, no third-party scripts that only collect data. A page that loads quickly consumes less on your end and on ours.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We track our own impact<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For every AI analysis, we estimate how much CO\u2082 it cost, and these estimates are tracked. Measuring what you do yourself is the least you can expect from a platform that asks others to do the same.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fh-kader\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section will be updated with the actual figures as soon as they are reliable over a longer period.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this isn&#8217;t<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t a claim that the platform is climate neutral. It&#8217;s a series of choices to keep the impact small, with the same honesty we ask of you when you publish your own footprint.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further reading<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list fh-hl-verder\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fairhospitality.coop\/en\/fairhospitality-toolset-user-guide\/why-we-do-this\/\">Why we do this<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fairhospitality.coop\/en\/fairhospitality-toolset-user-guide\/the-footprint-module\/report-and-infographic\/\">Report and infographic<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fairhospitality.coop\/en\/fairhospitality-toolset-user-guide\/the-footprint-module\/publishing-and-requesting-a-check\/\">Publishing and requesting a check<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sustainability tool that wastes resources itself isn&#8217;t credible.
