AI-powered home office carbon calculator for climatetech hybrids.
Remote workers in climatetech can't trust their carbon footprint trackers because they fail to accurately log hybrid work commutes and home office energy use.
EcoDeskAI uses AI to estimate home energy from utility bills, device lists, and smart meter integrations, combined with commute data for full hybrid footprints. Upload bills or connect APIs for precise kWh-to-CO2 conversion using regional factors. Delivers audit-ready reports trusted by climatetech firms.
