Yearly CO2 Reduction

This calculation is based on yearly ‘Community Retail Electricity Savings’ that would be created by the community of 4700 each year if all 6601 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 QLD, which is used to highlight the amount of carbon pollution that is instead saved by postcode 4700 by switching to a more energy-efficient split system for heating.
