I wanted to share my results from this footprint calculator from the goBEYOND website which I was recently shown. I think this is a very easy calculator to use - although it asked a lot of questions which I assume the average person would not know, such as if your water heater is using a thermal blanket. The website itself is amazing as well! I encourage you to check it out - it is based for campus life! The homepage currently exemplifies Jenna Gall, a student here at UBCO!
