AI estimates your dorm and meal emissions from simple uploads and uni schedules.
Climatetech students cannot accurately log their carbon footprints because most trackers lack integration with university meal plans and dorm energy data.
EcoDormDiary lets students upload dorm bills and meal receipts, using AI to estimate precise carbon footprints tailored to their university's data patterns. It provides comparative analytics against course peers and predictive modeling for semester totals. Easy sharing for group projects makes it ideal for climatetech assignments.
