You know that electricity usage contributes to carbon emissions, but how much? With this calculator you can find out how much carbon emissions you're producing based on your building's electricity usage. This provides you with a reference point so that, if you implement a strategy to reduce your carbon footprint, you can track your success. Distributing DC power to your DC powered devices (such as LED lights) reduces your carbon emissions for those devices by up to 40%. If you'd like to learn more about AC vs DC power, and how to distribute it, check out our blog: 5 Reasons DC Electricity Should Replace AC in Buildings.

Here's how this calculator works. A number of factors influence total carbon emissions per unit of electricity used, including the time span in months, what country you live in and, of course, the average kWh of electricity you consume each month.
