CALCULATING ENERGY SAVINGS FROM YOUR CAMPAIGN

In order to calculate the amount of your donation to your selected charity(s) you need to calculate the energy co
done by measuring your energy consumption before you start your campaign and when it is completed.

There are a number of ways to record before and after energy consumption for your energy campaign. These
Bottom-up approaches.

It should be noted, however, that this is not an exact science, and it is likely that some degree of estimation will

1.Top-down

Meter readings

If you regularly take meter readings then these can be used to identify your energy consumption before you com

Take your total monthly energy use and enter it in the associated spreadsheet.

Energy bills

If you do not have meter readings for at least the past 12 months, then you should identify consumption from at
be aware that some energy bills may be estimates of consumption and not actual consumption. This data shoul

Normalise

You will also have to normalise these figures by taking into account certain factors that affect your energy use,
etc.

2.Bottom-up

main energy using plant and equipment on your site. This could be lighting, computers, motors, compressed air

You can do a spot check before your campaign to see what plant and equipment is running unnecessarily and c

Estimating energy use

You can estimate the electricity use and cost for your plant and equipment by looking at its power and its runnin
spreadsheet provided.

The electricity use of equipment in kilowatt hours (kWh) over a period is:

Electricity use [kWh] = Power [kW] x Runing hours [hrs]

This information can be entered in the adjacent worksheets to calculate the overall energy consumption of your

Running hours

Check the running hours of plant and equipment before your campaign by carrying out a spot check. If plant and
running hours will be high and you are wasting energy.

Power (kWh)

There are a number of methods for establishing the power of equipment.

a)use the nameplate rating this is usually printed on a nameplate attached to equipment and given in watts (

b)measure the current using a grip-on ammeter and calculate the power using the formula:

Power [kW] = 0.184 x current [amps]

c)measure power using a power logger or submeter if installed

* be aware that actual power is less than the nameplate rating. However, for the purposes of comparing before and after e

Example

Lighting

A. identify the wattage of the lamp (usually written on the lamps, or ask your electrician).
B. count the number of lamps of each type.
C. estimate the running hours of your lighting.
C. simply multiply A x B x C and divide the result by 1000 to get the KWh

By means of a spot check or estimate establish the annual running hours.

Note: for the purposes of simplicity, we have ignored control gear losses. If you know in what cases the

Once you have begun your campaign, carry out the same spot check to see if plant and equipment is being swi
campaign is successful, then running hours and your overall electricity use will be lower resulting in savings.
