www.greenpeace.org.uk Scottish & Newcastle’s Royal Brewery in Manchester’s about to reduce its carbon footprint by 25000 tonnes a year - an 87% reduction in fossil-fuel missions - by installing two combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Find out more about CHP at www.greenpeace.org.uk
Basically i’m creating a basic carbon footprint calculator concentrating mainly on appliances. In order to do the final calculations, i need my units to be in kWh/yr per appliance (after asking the user one or two questions). I’m stuck up to microwaves. I’ve collected various information:
New Power on demand (Watts): 0.95
New Standby Power demand (Watts): 1.37
So does anyone have any idea how i could get these figures into kWh/yr? the statistics also confuse me also as it is to my knowledge that most microwaves are 600W or 800W, so i’m also not realy sure what those statistics mean. But if that is the case and i can calculate it into kWh/yr from the 600/800 W figures then how would i apply this to other appliances in which the amount of Watts they use is not as widely known?
Also it is to my knowledge that the figure in kWh/yr should average around 100 if that helps?
Thanks.
Join The Movement Now and help us reduce our carbon footprint, simply by changing the way you eat: if the population of Europe replaced meat and dairy by a plant based alternative just once a week, we could reduce our carbon footprint by 40.000.000 tons! That’s more than the carbon emissions produced by a line of cars going around the world!
What is the importance of serving others (community, school etc.) and how does that tie into to environment? If u have any more questions then please just ask!!!
Thank You..i really appreciate it!
