Estimating appliance energy
Daily energy is estimated as wattage ÷ 1,000 × hours used. Multiplying daily kWh by the electricity factor gives estimated daily CO₂e. Label power is not the same as a meter reading, because real devices cycle and operate at different loads.
Reducing electricity emissions
- Measure high-use appliances with a suitable meter.
- Reduce unnecessary standby and operating time.
- Choose efficient equipment when replacement is necessary.
- Compare equivalent billing periods or meter readings before claiming savings.
