This Master's thesis was written at the instigation of the Lahti Region Environment Service as a part of the Innovative Concept of Eco-accommodation approach in rural Regions: Public support policies for eco-investors (ICER) project. The purpose of the thesis was to determine how accommodation businesses can reduce their carbon footprint, as well as examine the opportunities for public sector funding of these operations. In the case-study section, the carbon footprint of a log cottage owned by Messilä Maailma Oy was calculated using a life cycle assessment. A 50 year life span was chosen for the examination. After the carbon footprint calculations, the carbon footprint was recalculated taking into account some of the operations that ar...
