Yearly CO2 Reduction

This calculation is based on yearly ‘Community Retail Electricity Savings’ that would be created by the community of 2474 each year if all 2611 homes used a 7-star efficient split system for heating when compared to a 3-star efficient system. This electricity saving is then multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in NSW, which is used to highlight the amount of carbon pollution that is instead saved by postcode 2474 by switching to a more energy-efficient split system for heating.

Carbon Sequestration Equivalent

This calculation is based on yearly ‘Community Retail Electricity Savings’ that would be created by the community of 2474 each year if all 2611 homes used a 7-star efficient split system for heating when compared to a 3-star efficient system. This electricity saving is then multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in NSW, then converted to the equivalent number of mature trees capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide pollution equal to the amount of CO2 saved (14 trees per tonne of CO2). So this number gives us a different way of understanding the environmental benefits of higher energy star split system performance because of improved energy efficiency.

Car Emissions Equivalent

This calculation is based on yearly ‘Community Retail Electricity Savings’ that would be created by the community of 2474 each year if all 2611 homes used a 7-star efficient split system or heating when compared to a 3-star efficient system. This electricity saving is then multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in NSW, then converted to the equivalent number of kilometres driven worth of car emissions driven by an average car equal to the amount of CO2 saved (120g of CO2 per km driven). So this number gives us a different way of understanding the environmental benefits of higher energy star split system performance because of improved energy efficiency.
