Standards & Labeling Program

OBJECTIVE

The Objectives of Standards & Labeling Program is to provide the consumer an informed choice about the energy saving and thereby the cost saving potential of the marketed household and other equipment. This is expected to impact the energy savings in the medium and long run while at the same time it will position domestic industry to compete in such markets where norms for energy efficiency are mandatory. The scheme was launched by the Honorable Minister of Power in May, 2006.
Presently, S&L program covers star rating for 26 appliances/equipment. List of the appliances covered under the ambit of Star Labeling is as given below:

Energy Saving Calculator

The purpose of this energy calculator is to help you determine the average electricity consumption of each of your electrical appliances and their contribution to your monthly electricity bill. Also it shows how much electricity / money you can save if old appliance is replaced with Energy Efficient appliance.

How to Use the Calculator

Step 1: Fill the Cost of Electricity.
Step 2: Fill the quantity for each of the appliances.
Step 3: The calculator will display the electricty consumption (in kWh) & electricty saving (in kWh) for each appliance per annum and sunbsquent cost saving.
For example: If you are using 1 bulb of 100W for 8 hour a day (200 days in a year), then you should fill in as follows:
Cost of Electricity = Rs 7.0 per unit (Assumed)

Appliance	Rating / Wattage (W)	Qty	No.of Hours of use per day	No.of Day	Annual Electricity Consumption (kWh)	Annual Electricity Bill Cost (IN Rs)	Energy Efficient Appliance	Energy Efficient Appliance Rating / Wattage (W)	Annual Electricity Consumption (kWh)	Annual Electricity Bill Cost (IN Rs)	Annual Electricity Saving (kWh)	Annual Electricity Bill Saving (IN Rs)
Incandescent Bulb	100	1	8	200	160	1,120.00	LED Bulb	9	14.4	100.80	145.6	974.40

The calculator shows that your Incandescent Bulb consumes on ..160... kWh per annuam and it contributes Rs .1120.00.. to your annual electricity bill. By replacing the old bulb with Energy Efficient 9 watt LED bulb you can reduce your consumpation up to 145.6 kWh per annum which reduces your electricity bill from Rs 1120.00 to Rs. 100.80
