Human Heat CO2 Calculations

Turning your heating down a bit or off for a bit and using Human Heat instead could save around 450 kg CO2 per year (see here for full calculation and assumptions).

The CO2 values in the slider have been averaged over a month, and split equally over the four data points, calculated as follows:

Q. How often in a year do you turn your heating down a bit or off for a bit and use Human Heat instead (a nice, comfy setting for our thermostats is between 18C and 21C)?

Endpoints:

Never = 0 kg

Always -  (450) / (12 months) = 37.5 kg CO2

Midpoints:

A bit - (37.5) x (1/3) = 12.5 kg CO2

A lot - (37.5) x (2/3) = 25 kg CO2
