How to Use Energy Efficiency Calculator
- Enter device power in watts. Use rated power for planning or measured power for a more realistic estimate.
- Enter use time in hours for the period you want to analyze.
- Enter load factor from 0 to 1, where 1 means full useful load and lower values mean less useful output.
- Calculate to see total input energy in kWh, useful energy, unused share, and the efficiency ratio.
Input energy (kWh) = power (W) x hours / 1000
Useful output energy = input energy x load factor
EER = useful output energy / input energy
- The visual bar shows how much of the consumed energy is treated as useful output under the selected load.
Use Cases for Energy Efficiency Calculator
- Estimating appliance electricity use before choosing run time.
- Comparing equipment behavior under light load and full load.
- Explaining why high power with low useful load can waste energy.
