North Little Rock COMMISSION on ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY
Decision Considerations • Economics to Participants • Economics to City • Technical Feasibility • Green House Gases (GHG) • POLITICAL
Facts • Each KWH Saved Reduces NLRNational Average • CO2 Carbon Dioxide 1.017 pounds/year 1.314 pounds/yr • SO2 Sulfur Dioxide .82 grams/year 1.93 grams/yr • NOX Nitrous Oxides .56 grams/year .88 grams/yr
WHY How much energy will a 100 watt incandescence light use if it was on 8 hours a day? How much noxious gases would this watt 100 light put into the air? CO2 SO2 NOX What about a 26 watt Compact Florescent bulb?
CONSERVATION - WHY! • Replace One 100 watt Incandescence Light Bulb with 26 watt CFL • Rated Life Incandescence about 2,000 hours • Rated Life CFL about 12,000 hours • Annual KWH USED average 8 hours/day • Incandescence – 292 KWH/year @ $.1268/KWH = $37.02/year • CFL – 76 KWH/year @ $.1268/KWH = $9.64/year • Annual Toxic Gas Emissions • Incandescence CFL • 297 pounds of CO2 77 pounds of CO2 • 1/2 pound of SO2 1/7 pound of SO2 • 1/3 pound NOX 1/7 pound NOX
