Bread Toasters, hair dryers and clothes dryers: CO2 emissions

García Garzón, Carlos; Agudo Martínez, Andrés

Abstract

In line with the approach of sustainability established in the European framework, our way of dwelling buildings also should be modified dosing the use of appliances, as these can produce unexpected CO2 emissions. In line with our commitment to integrating the fight against change and social commitment in our sustainability methodology applied to buildings have we stopped to think sometime in accounting for the total calculation of the energy consumption of a building using these familiar devices? Have we ever thought about the amounts of CO2 that our appliances off? By performing six ordered and valued inventories referred to two buildings of average, using different constructive solutions, different climate zones and a list of most representative appliances of our daily use, we measured CO2 emissions and energy consumption of the examples using specialized software, references from manufacturers and accounting for consumption according to the Institute for Diver- fication and Saving of Energy (IDAE).
