One normal day

I usually have a energy effiency day. When i get up and turn on my lamp, which is the energy-saving lamp, only 40 w/h. I ususlly keep it on at least for 1h before I going to school. I use toaster to heat a toast for breakfast which use 40w/min. I use laptop at least 12h per day which need 70w/h. When I back home, I keep light on for at least 6h from 18:00 to 14:00. which need 240w. I use refreger whole day.

This the most energy efficiency way in your daily routine. Let’s break down the energy consumption based on the appliances I mentioned:

  1. Energy-saving lamp: 40 watts per hour (Wh) for 1 hour. Total energy used: 40 Wh
  2. Toaster: 40 watts per minute (W/min) for breakfast. Assuming it’s used for 2 minutes: Total energy used: 40 W/min x 1min = 40 W
  3. Laptop: 70 watts per hour (Wh) for 12 hours. Total energy used: 70 Wh/h x 12 h = 840 Wh
  4. Light at home: 240 watts for 6 hours. Total energy used: 40 W x 6 h = 240 Wh

Now, let’s add up the energy usage throughout your day:

  • Energy-saving lamp: 40 Wh
  • Toaster: 40 Wh
  • Laptop: 840 Wh
  • Light at home: 240 Wh

To find your total energy usage for the day, sum these values:

Total energy usage for the day = 40 Wh + 40 Wh + 840 Wh + 240 Wh = 1160 Wh

You can convert this to kilowatt-hours (kWh) by dividing by 1,000:

Total energy usage for the day = 1160 Wh / 1,000 = 1.16kWh

So, on a typical day, i consume approximately 1.16 kilowatt
