Up to 54% of work's carbon footprint may be eliminated by full-time working from home (WFH).
Savings from less than full-time are disproportionately smaller [1].
Hybrid workers, spending 2 to 4 days at home, reduce GHG emissions by 11 to 29%. This is
mainly due to less office energy use and less commuting. One day a week hybrid workers only
save 2% GHG.
Results are influenced by many factors. Hybrid workers tend to live further from their work
than do onsite workers. Remote workers tend to travel more for non-commute activities than do
their onsite counterparts, e.g. for exercise, recreational activities, socialising, etc. WFH
requires extra space at home which may result in extra residential energy consumptions. Remote
households own more vehicles.
