Sustainability in every click
Every website visit has an impact on the environment, because the internet as a whole uses a huge amount of electricity. The Huurspot website is part of that too. That’s exactly why we watch every kilobyte and deliberately choose smart, energy-efficient solutions.
Here's how far we've come, and where we're headed.
For us, sustainability starts online
At Huurspot, we believe sustainability goes beyond solar panels and good insulation. We take responsibility online too. We keep our platform lightweight, optimise our code every day and choose green hosting. That way, your search for a home puts as little strain on the environment as possible.
A platform you can count on
-
Green web hosting
Our servers are getting greener, step by step.
-
Lightweight code
Less data means less energy, straight away.
-
Smarter searching
A faster match means less time and energy spent searching online.
-
Transparent ambitions
We measure our impact so we can reduce it where it counts.
Honest about our road to green
Honesty is the best policy. We’re not there yet, but we’ve made a start. Right now, an average visit to Huurspot produces about 0.31 g of CO₂. Our servers don’t run fully on green energy yet, so we currently emit more CO₂ than 56% of websites worldwide.
We don’t see this as a setback, but as our baseline and motivation. Time to get to work!
- Cups of coffee you could make with it.
- 4,961 cups
- How far an electric car could drive on it.
- 1,620 km
- How often you could fully charge your phone.
- 6,176 times
- Trees needed to absorb this CO₂ in a year.
- 15 trees
That’s roughly what our 36.61 kg of CO₂ per year means, at 10,000 page views a month.
Our promise
We’ll keep optimising until these numbers turn green. For every click you make, we do something behind the scenes to shrink our footprint.
Together towards a fully sustainable housing market!
