I. Introduction

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a team of gases that catch heat in the
environment, adding to the pollution and worldwide warming (Shah, 2022). The
major GHGs consist of co2 (CARBON DIOXIDE), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases are released into the ambience with
different human activities, with energy usage being a considerable contributor to
GHG emissions (Lap, 2021).

Accounting for power intake is vital in recognizing its web link to GHG
exhausts. Power usage, particularly from nonrenewable fuel source combustion, is
a main source of GHG discharges, making it necessary to track and take care of
energy-related GHG discharges for reliable climate modification reduction and the
promo of sustainable power practices (AlShafeey, 2023).

This activity intends to stress the requirement to monitor and regulate energy-
related GHG emissions, promoting recognition and liable power consumption
(Human Confirmation, n.d.-b). By comprehending the impact of power usage on
GHG discharges, people and companies can make informed decisions to minimize
their carbon impact and add to ecological sustainability (Human Verification, n.d.-
c).

II. Objectives

The general objective of the activity is to assess and measure the

greenhouse gas emissions linked to the power consumption of Nazareno's
household in Ampayon, Butuan City, Philippines, throughout the year from
January 2023 to December 2023. Specifically, the study aims:
 1. To gather details from ANECO-provided electrical bills to
quantify the total greenhouse gas exhausts resulting from the
household's electrical energy usage in 2023..
2. To utilize the accumulated information to determine the exact
greenhouse gas emissions connected with the house's power
use.
3. To present the calculated greenhouse gas exhausts in a clear
and visually enticing visual style, promoting understanding and
interaction of emission patterns within the family.
4. To raise recognition amongst family participants concerning
sustainable behaviors aimed at decreasing emissions.

III. Methodology

Data Collection
The initial phase includes getting the ANECO-provided electrical
expenses specifically for Nazareno's home in Ampayon, Butuan City,
throughout 2023. Vital information, such as month-to-month electrical power
intake in kilowatt-hours (kWh), and any kind of important info adding to the
greenhouse gas emissions stock, will certainly be drawn out from these
expenses.

Emission Factor Determination

Following data collection, the emphasis will certainly be on
determining and acquiring exhaust factors tailored to the power use of
Nazareno's household. The emission factor will be determined, considering the
particular energy mix in the household and its matching greenhouse gas
emission coefficient.

Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation:

With emission consider hand, the subsequent action is to compute the
overall greenhouse gas exhausts entirely connected to Nazareno's house power
intake. This includes multiplying the monthly power consumption (in kWh) by
 the discharge element for the power resource. The summation of these
monthly computations will supply the total emissions for the household
throughout the year.

Data Analysis and Visualization:

With the aid of spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel, data will be
tabulated and in a clear layout. Utilizing visualization devices, such as charts
and charts, the purpose is to stand for emission patterns over the year
especially within Nazareno's household. The objective is to make certain
simple analysis and understanding of discharge fads within this solitary family
context.

IV. Results

The carbon footprint of Nazareno's household in Ampayon, Butuan

City, Philippines, was completely checked out through a greenhouse gas
(GHG) inventory covering 2023. The investigation disclosed comprehensive
info concerning the effect of power consumption on the setting, with regular
monthly kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage rising and fall from 340 kWh in Might to
127 kWh in December, showcasing seasonal modifications and home energy
patterns. This variation in power use supplied valuable insights right into the
elements that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

An analysis of the electrical bills provided by ANECO revealed the

total greenhouse gas (GHG) discharges for each month in statistics lots of co2
equivalent (t CO2e). The emissions fluctuated in tandem with power use,
getting to a high of 0.0171 t CO2e in Might and a low of 0.0064 t CO2e in
December. The solid relationship in between electrical energy usage and GHG
exhausts highlights the considerable influence of family energy usage on
carbon emissions.

On top of that, the details were incorporated to develop a visually eye-

catching and quickly easy to understand display screen of the discharge
patterns in Nazareno's home. The selected visual design in the presentation
enhances comprehension and encourages involvement with the detailed
adjustments in greenhouse gas emissions throughout the year. This graph is a
beneficial source for both the household and outside events in understanding
the nuances of emission fluctuations.

Crucially, the activity not only determined and shown GHG emissions
however additionally aimed to cultivate awareness and eco-friendly behaviors
among the household. The emissions that were computed were interacted to
the family members to increase awareness concerning exactly how their
energy usage influences the atmosphere. This aspect of the activity, which
concentrates on raising awareness, is crucial for advertising sustainable
behaviors and instilling a sense of responsibility in resolving environment
modification at the personal and household levels.

V. Discussion
 The activity performed an inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
from Nazareno's household in Ampayon, Butuan City, Philippines, for the
year 2023. The analysis offered comprehensive understandings right into the
environmental impact of electrical power consumption, with month-to-month
power use ranging from 340 kWh in Might to 127 kWh in December,
highlighting seasonal variants and house power usage patterns. Additionally,
the study established the complete GHG discharges for each month in metric
lots of co2 equivalent (t CO2e), which associated with power consumption,
emphasizing the considerable influence of home energy use on carbon
emissions.

Several studies have actually emphasized the substantial correlation

between the electricity consumption and carbon emissions (Human
Verification, n.d.-e). These findings highlight the value of understanding and
addressing the influence of electrical energy usage on carbon emissions for
sustainability. In addition to its impact on carbon emissions, it is important to
raise recognition and urge sustainable behaviors as indispensable facets of
liable power usage. The purpose of the acitivity was to cultivate awareness
and green behaviors within households by notifying family members
regarding their calculated emissions, therefore improving understanding
concerning the environmental ramifications of their energy usage. This
particular aspect of the acitivity, which concentrates on increasing awareness,
is critical for advertising lasting behaviors and nurturing a feeling of
obligation in dealing with climate adjustment at the individual and household
levels. Recent research study has actually shown the important role of
education and learning and neighborhood participation ahead of time
sustainable power methods and advertising recognition concerning the
environmental repercussions of energy consumption (Amaefule, 2022).

VI. Conclusion

Addressing carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly habits calls

for considering research findings on power use's ecological influence. These
research studies highlight the demand for durable policies, community
 involvement, and education and learning to raise awareness and encourage
sustainable energy practices. An extensive strategy that incorporates these
aspects is necessary for achieving a substantial decrease in the ecological
impact of energy intake and fostering a society of responsibility and
sustainability.
