“…Firstly, evaluation did not consider some technical aspects including accuracy of calculated carbon emissions for every end user as they had limited knowledge to determine such quantitative values. In addition, the tool had various limitations pertaining to the development of a carbon footprint calculator for the context of Mauritius, including lack of standardized emission categories and factors [10].…”

“…Although various personal carbon footprint calculators have emerged online and on application sharing platforms such as Google Play, most carbon calculators focus on various activities of an individual including household energy use, diet and lifestyle and among others [10], instead of directly emphasizing on transportation related emissions. Consequently, such calculators are tedious for the users who only wish to determine their travel-based carbon emissions, as these tools also require various other details that are inconsequential to transport.…”

“…User will be given an option to share his/her carbon footprints through social media making it an effective way of spreading awareness. 'MAU Carbon Footprint Calculator' developed for Mauritian citizens was studied [1]. Also, the paper based on 'Carbon Footprint Analysis Behaviour for a Sustainable University Campus in China' [2] was studied for writing this paper.…”

In 21st century, the percentage of anthropogenic activities is increasing. Leading to various adverse effects on environment causing problems like Climate change, global warming and many more. One of the major pollutants for these problems is CO2. Variety of factors are responsible for CO2 emissions. Several carbon footprint calculators have emerged but users are inactive. The use of such technology has to be increased for environment conscious behaviour by providing proper analysis and suggestions to users. Our application ‘C- Impressions’ track daily emissions and provide suggestions for improvement, its interface is very simple and easy to use making it more interestingand interactive for the user. The app not only computes carbon footprints but also offers users tailored suggestions for lowering their carbon footprint. These suggestions can be to cut back on energy use, choose for environmentally friendly modes of transportation, or cut back on food waste. The software will also enable users to monitor their development over time and assess how their carbon footprint compares to others. A crucial worldwide concern that calls for immediate and ongoing action is climate change. Promoting sustainable behaviour among people through technologies like carbon footprint apps is one way to lower greenhouse gas emissions. This study intends to evaluate how well a carbon footprint app encourages consumers to adopt sustainable behaviour.

“…Tracking household CFs involves measuring and analysing various factors contributing to carbon emissions. The various concepts available to track household CFs, as discussed, include energy consumption data analysis [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65], the use of surveys and questionnaires [66][67][68][69][70][71], life-cycle assessment (LCA) [66,[72][73][74][75][76][77][78], IoT-based monitoring systems [10,12,59,71,[79][80][81][82], carbon calculators and online tools [24,62,66,78,[83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92], behavioural monitoring and feedback [64,87,[93][9...…”

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are the main causes of global climate change. This phenomenon impacts natural and human systems around the world through the rising global average surface temperature, extreme weather, changes in precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification. However, this concept is alien to most people in developing countries. They are also unaware of the connection between energy efficiency and climate change. This dearth of knowledge makes them opt for highly inefficient appliances. Internet of Things (IoT)-based visualisation platforms for tracking household carbon footprints (CFs) have been seen as a good concept for combating this global phenomenon; however, there are potential challenges and ethical restrictions that must be addressed when implementing platforms for tracking household CFs. It is also vital to consider the user’s viewpoint and current technological state to ensure successful implementation and adoption. As the literature in this area is rapidly developing, it is crucial to revisit it occasionally. This paper presents a systematic review of IoT-based visualisation platforms for household CFs, including their definitions, characteristics, decision-making processes, policy development, related services, benefits, challenges, and barriers to implementation. Finally, it offers suggestions for future research.
