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
The Carbon Calculator is a portable, battery‑powered tool that lets specifiers, architects and homeowners input simple data such as the number and wattage of lights in a room. The device then calculates existing and projected electricity usage, CO₂ emissions, and monetary costs, showing potential savings when Elkay energy‑management products are installed.
Key features include an easy‑to‑use interface, blue back‑lit display, automatic power‑off, and battery operation, making it convenient for on‑site energy assessments.
