Green Theatre Index: Measuring the Effectiveness of Climate-Smart Approaches and Benchmarking
Abstract
The effectiveness of climate-smart approaches is of significant concern because theatres contribute up to 33% of the hospital carbon footprint and 42% of revenue. Despite overwhelming advancements in climate-smart green theatre research, benchmarking remains a challenge. A single index representing their improvements has significant potential to increase control over and to promote their approaches. That is, this study does not stop at an inquiry about climate-smart approaches but also moves a step further and explores a possible outcome measure for the evolution of magnitudes, particularly in favour of the green theatre index (GTI). A function (clinical_theatre_emissions) was created in the R package Carbonr to calculate carbon emission. A time series emission data by theatre were consolidated as GTI using Fisher ideal index. The GTI proves a feasible and accurate consolidated outcome measure for carbon emissions to track and benchmark climate-smart strategies and could be applied in the real-world settings.
