Important notes
  • Use this as planning support based on the entered factor source and year.
  • Use current source documents before relying on the estimate for reporting or project comparison.

Formulas

  • \(\displaystyle kgCO2e = kWh_{\mathrm{saved}} \times EF_{\mathrm{kg/kWh}}\)
  • \(\displaystyle tCO2e = kgCO2e / 1000\)
  • The emissions factor source and year are user-entered dated assumptions.

Estimate avoided emissions from annual kWh savings, a dated emissions factor, and the factor source.

Lighting Emissions Avoided Estimate is a planning aid. Keep the target source, product data, measurement method, and project assumptions with the result. Confirm compliance, installation, certification, and safety decisions with the responsible professional.
