  5. Group Totals:Balloons & Dollars Saved ? 2301-liter balloons (volume) How many did your team save during week before Session #1, week between Session #1 & #2 ?

  6. Observation Worksheet: Seeing Your Individual Savings! Find your individual totals from week before first session & this past week

  7. Basic Information

  8. Human Energy Behaviors: Using Electricity CO2 EBulb= 5% EC= ~10% Example: Overall efficiency for conversion of fuel energy to lighting= EPPxETx EBulb = 1.6% EPP= 0.35 ET= 0.90 EW= ~ 50% ~50%% Over 98% is wasted !

  9. What is a kWh? A measure of electrical energy consumed Cost (PG&E)…. 11 – 44 cents CO2 emissions (PG&E): 106 balloons 100 Watt 10 hours = 1000 Watt-hours = 1 kiloWatt-hour = 1 kWh

  10. Activity #1:Getting to Know Your Electricity Bill

  11. Electricity Bill 1. Estimate weekly electricity usage: = total kWh / 4 weeks 2. Estimate weekly CO2 emissions: = total kWh x 106 balloons / 4 wks. 3. Calculate weekly cost of electricity: = total charges / 4 weeks 4. Compare to savings from “Observation Worksheet”

  12. Activity #2:Hunting for Balloons & Dollars

  13. Daily Device Use Activity Worksheet 1. Use a horizontal line to mark times when devices are on in your household 2. Fill-in the times when the devices are actually being used 3. Use an “X” to mark times when you are not using these devices

  14. Personal Goal Setting

  15. Low-Electricity Behaviors:Examples from Worksheet How many of you have made these low-electricity practices part of your lives during the past week? More choices for low-electricity practices…
