Fast Energy Facts

  • 30% of energy in buildings used inefficiently or unnecessarily

    Energy Consumption Breakdown

  • The average household spends nearly R14,599  a year on energy bills-nearly half on heating and cooling. A programmable thermostat, set and used properly, can save about R1,314  each year.

  • Average Annual household total energy emissions: 167,013 kilograms CO2 / yr or the equivalent of 4,307 liters of gas

  • According to the National Association of Home Builders (http://www.nahb.com/default.aspx), the average home size in the United States was 710 square meters in 2004, up from 710 square meters in 1970.

  • By replacing your home’s five most frequently used light fixtures in your home to ENERGY STAR qualified ones you can save about R474  each year in energy costs.

  • 1 ENERGY STAR qualified light [bulb or fixture] prevents more than 2,920 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime, the equivalent of keeping nearly 1,460 kilograms of coal from being burned.

  • If every American home replaced their 5 most frequently used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR, we would save close to R58 billion each year in energy costs, and together we’d prevent the greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars.
