Carbon accounting using the Aclymate Dashboard

Navigating the main Dashboard

Start here with this quick video overview:


The Aclymate Dashboard is your one-stop-shop for all things emission related. From the main page you can view a summary of your total emissions, emissions broken down by category, add single and multiple emissions, and start editing all this information as your organization grows and changes.

When you first get started, you'll notice we've already started to calculate your carbon footprint right at the top:

This number, when you first view it upon creating your account, is just a preliminary estimate based on the information you've given us so far- Industry, office location, relationship with the utilities and the number of employees. As you add more information this number will change!

The information we gather to gain a better undestanding of your emissions is broken down into a few main categories: Offices, Vehicles, Employees, as well as transactions that have some emissions tied to them. On the main dashboard page you can filter through the analytics by clicking the different categories:

In each of the sub sections you can add and edit information for that particular category:

and:

This format is true for all categories except for your transactional data- that is added a little differently, but edited in the same fashion as above. To add your transaction data click on either the 'Add a single emission' button for your one off emissions or the 'Add multiple emissions' button for adding CSVs:

Once you've uploaded some relevant transactions they'll automatically be added to your balance. You can click on individual transactions to provide more detail and thus, a more accurate emissions number will be calculated for that transaction.

In the image above, we've taken a guess at the emission category and amounts. You can click these line items to add more information which will help define a more accurate representation of your carbon footprint.

On the left side, under the Alcymate logo are a few buttons that you can use to navigate to other parts of the application. These are 'Home', 'Certification', 'Settings' and 'Purchase Offsets'.
