Guide Questions:

1. Which appliance did your family use most often? How much do these appliances cost you
in a week? In a month? (3pts)
2. Which appliance did your family use the least? How much do these appliances cost you in
a week? In a month? (3pts)
3. How much Carbon dioxide does your family emit in a week? In a month? (2 pts)
CLUE: 1.5 lb of CO2 is emitted per kWh.
4. Make three realistic suggestions as to how the bill could be reduced. (3pts)
5. How do you feel about the activity? What did you learn? (4pts)

Answers:
1. Electric fan#1. It can cost per week Php69.26. In a month Php231.00
2. Rice cooker. It can cost per week Php31.48. In a month Php134.93
3. Carbon dioxide emit in a week 1,174.32/round off 1.17 In a month 5,032.8/round off 5.03
4. First is to switch off/turn off the appliances if not to be used. Second is lessening the usage of
the appliances when there is small amount of people or you are alone in your house. Last is if
you can afford a Solar Photovoltaic or Solar Thermal is much better because your electricity is
coming from the sun which is the main source of energy.
5. I feel confuse because there is so many decimals and computations to do. What I’ve learn about
is don’t waste electricity and I learn how to audit energy.
