In reality, improving your home’s energy efficiency doesn’t have to mean doing less. Thanks to new, more efficient (and often affordable) technology, it's easier than ever to get more out of your home while c
energy efficiencygoal-framing theoryenergy saving behaviorhouseholdsIt have been demonstrated that by providing better information and feedback on electricity consumption to households, it is possible to achieve a considerable level of energy savings. However, factors that influence the decisions of ...
When weighing up domestic and business energy, you need to make sure you calculate your expected usage, and whether business energy remains cheaper than domestic energy once VAT and the CCL are factored in. For example, if you are working from home, business energy may not always be cheaper....
To calculate the amount of power a turbine can actually generate from the wind, you need to know the wind speed at the turbine site and the turbine power rating. Most large turbines produce their maximum power at wind speeds around 15 meters per second (33 mph). Considering steady wind spe...
How to Calculate Your Home’s Electrical Load Different homes need different amp services. You may be wondering, “Do I need 200 amp service?” With a bit of math, you can figure out what kind of electrical load your home requires. A 60-amp service, for example, is probably inadequate...

Leverage the power of physics-based simulation to calculate projected renewable generation profiles across the year and at different times of the day, to work out whether renewable generation will meet demand or if storage solutions are required. The process is flexible, meaning the end user can...
Energy-efficient products and services can cost more than conventional ones, but the electricity savings from energy-efficient measures should eventually offset their extra cost. To calculate the time it will take to break even on energy-efficient purchases, you need to know the product's type and...
compared both to actual load requirements as well as to a new, high-efficiency, right-sized unit. Calculate how much excess energy is being consumed and multiply by the rate schedule. Determine how long a new motor would take to pay for itself: sometimes it makes financial sense to replace...
The tariff is meant to improve efficiency in power distribution and relieve the burden on Kenya Power in pursuing defaulters. Bulk power purchasers will pay Kenya Power upfront, meaning that the State electricity distributor will protect every shilling from power sold under this arrangement. The...
