ELKAY Carbon Calculator Manual
The Elkay carbon calculator is a simple but highly effective tool for calculating energy usage and cost, both in terms of monetary cost and carbon emissions. It is a portable tool that allows specifiers, architects, and even private homeowners to calculate the current energy consumption of a room and estimate the savings that can be achieved by installing Elkay energy management products. The carbon calculator works by answering a series of simple questions - for instance, the number and wattage of lights in a room - and inputting the answers into the handheld device. From the information given, the Elkay carbon calculator can calculate: • Existing annual electricity usage – in kWh • Existing annual emissions – in kg of CO2 • New annual electricity usage if an Elkay energy management product is fitted – in kWh • New annual CO2 emissions if an Elkay energy management product is fitted – in kg of CO2 • Existing annual cost – in monetary value • New annual cost - if an Elkay energy management product is fitted – in monetary value • Annual savings by using an Elkay energy management product – in monetary value • Annual reduction in CO2 emissions by using an Elkay energy management product – in kg of CO2
