Energy savings calculators quantify annual electricity cost reductions from replacing an inefficient device with a more efficient one. LED bulbs and smart thermostats have among the fastest paybacks.

Formel

Annual savings = (Old kWh − New kWh) × Price per kWh | Payback period = Upgrade cost / Annual savings

Trin-for-trin guide

  1. 1Annual saving = (Old W − New W) / 1000 × Hours/day × 365 × Rate
  2. 2Payback period = Upgrade cost / Annual saving
  3. 3CO₂ saving = kWh saved × grid carbon intensity
  4. 4Energy savings are effectively inflation-protected as prices rise

Løste eksempler

Input
Replace 100W bulb with 10W LED, 6h/day, $0.30/kWh
Resultat
Annual saving = 90W × 6h × 365 × $0.30/1000 = $59.13
