Estimate your personal Annual Energy Usage for the following - list all data in kWh (KiloWatt hours):
Space Heating (Central heating, room heaters etc.- if you share a central system, e.g.
in a flat or Hall, estimate your personal use).
Space cooling (if you have air conditioning at home)
Cooking (Gas cooker, microwave, sandwich toaster, toaster etc.)
Lighting (All lights in your house/flat)
Other domestic use (TV, Electronics, including computers, X-box etc)
Transport (Public transport/car/motor cycle, including air travel if used)
Total _______ kWh
Then convert this figure to kg of CO2 and Tonnes of Oil Equivalent(TOE).
State clearly the basis for your calculations.
If you use a web based calculator you should check that the conversions are appropriate
for your location.
(If the calculator does not state conversion factors, you can usually determine them by
putting single inputs (e.g. 1000kW electricity) into calculator and seeing what the output is).

The average UK per capita consumption is ~4TOE/annum,
The average UAE per capita consumption is ~11TOE/annum
