Global Warming Climate Change GreenHouse Gases Internet Online Calculator
calculation of GreenHouse Gases emission reductions
metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Try first each mitigation measure separately to see its impact, than fill all realistic scenarios
The following mitigation measures will result in GreenHouse Gases emission reduction
expressed in metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year 		tCO2e/y
When driving your car, slowing down from 105 to 90km/h greatly reduces fuel consumption. How many km per year you are using your car? km/y
Thermal insulation of walls and roofs in your house greatly reduces energy consumption.
What is floor area of your house / apartment (sq.ft. should be divided by 10)? 		m2
You can reduce electricity consumption of your air conditioner by setting its thermostat to 26oC in the summer. What is the current setting of the thermostat?
You can reduce energy consumption for heating by setting the thermostat to 19oC in the winter. What is the current setting of the thermostat?
Air conditioners are rated "A"-"F" according to energy consumption. You could save energy if you had air conditioner rated "A". What is the rating of your air conditioner?
What if you had refrigerator rated "A"?
What is current energy rating of your refrigerator?
What about a solar water heater?
How many stand-by appliances can you switch off using socket with switch (TV sets, cables, computers, printers and monitors transformers, routers and telephone chargers)?
How many lamps in your house can you replace with fluorescent lamps (modern fluorescent lamps give daylight color like incandescent lamp - use mix of white and yellow color)?
how many hours a day you leave the air conditioning on at your workplace when nobody in the room? hr/day
space area of your responsibility (sq.ft. should be divided by 10): m2
For how many hours a day can you switch off the lights in your workplace and use natural daylight? hr/day
space area of your responsibility (sq.ft. should be divided by 10): m2
how many hours a day you leave the lights on at your workplace when there is no one in the room? hr/day
space area of your responsibility (sq.ft. should be divided by 10): m2
That's not all. You can do much more. But starting only with these simple measures you have already reached:
  tCO2e/y
In your opinion, how many people around the world can implement the same mitigation measures: ?

This results in   millions of tons of CO2 equivalent per year
