My Energy Calculator Results
So check it out, I went and used the BP Energy Calculator and got my energy results profile. In a detailed report that it gave me, it said that I use approximately 49,369 kWh per year in energy. (Cars, heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances).I don't pay much attention to what my folks pay in total for electricity every year, but I can imaging it is a few thousand dollars. In this profile it states that most of the energy used in this matter comes from the use of my family's cars. I need to chill on the driving. We turn off the lights in the house when they are not being used or when we all leave to try and save energy and cut down on the cost of our electric bill. We also try not to over heat the house in the winter and leave the heat off in the summer as well. My carbon footprint total was registered at 23.0 CO 2, which I don't think that is that bad. Between me and my family we only fly about two times a year. We do not travel for business and our household energy level is more than likely average. One of the things that we could change, is the use of our light bulbs in our household to conserve energy.
