Abstract Climate change poses a significant threat, driven largely by greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). Residential areas are major contributors to these emissions, making it imperative to quantify and mitigate their environmental impact. This paper presents a mathematical model and associated carbon footprint calculator for assessing carbon footprints within residential areas. The calculator incorporates a multifaceted approach, accounting for household energy consumption, food-related emissions, and transportation choices. The model relies on established emission factors to translate various activities into quantifiable CO2 emissions. It aims to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly tool to inform individuals and policymakers about the carbon footprint associated with residential living. By empowering informed decision-making, the model and its accompanying calculator have the potential to promote sustainable practices and guide mitigation strategies within residential communities.
