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).

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.

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.
