This on-line calculator by Slovak Gas Industry (SPP), a major energy supplier in Slovakia, provides useful calculations of costs and CO2 emissions of hot water preparation. After inserting basic input data (volume and temperature of water), the user gets information about energy consumption and costs for two options: natural gas boiler and electric boiler. A similar calculation is provided for generation of CO2 emissions.

SSE company, an energy supplier in Slovakia, provides an on-line tool that enables calculating an optimal size of an electric boiler based on basic parameters about number of persons using a building, annual heat and hot water consumption, etc.

The tool allows SMEs as well as individuals (households) to measure their ecological footprint by answering simple questions about their everyday life and behaviour. The questions are categorized under five main categories: household/operation, transport, purchasing, waste and food/catering.
