Ross from sust-it said: “There’s a staggering difference between the energy consumption of electricals in the marketplace – which we’ve been highlighting through our unique ranking system. Yes, a lot of top energy efficient products are expensive, however there are long-term savings to be made”.
sust-it’s energy efficiency website ranks electricals by their energy usage and CO2 emissions. It does this through its unique calculations of average usage, combined with carefully researched energy usage data published by manufacturers. The site is constantly updated and contains a wide range of products from TVs to chest freezers.
You can compare electricity tariffs and calculate your CO2 emissions at the same time. The electricity unit rates used to calculate the costs per hour/cycle/year are based on the DECC (The Department of Energy and Climate Change) Quarterly Energy Prices. CO2 Calculations taken from National Energy Foundation.
The site also offers advice on environmentally sustainable lifestyles through its green living section and blog.
The sust-it website was conceived and developed by turnround new media an independent production company, after it’s proprietor Ross Lammas (49), became increasingly frustrated by the difficulty in finding the data on the energy consumption of products, whilst he was building an environmentally sustainable office and home. The site is independent from any manufacturers, retailers or energy companies, and does not receive any funding from any Government agencies, trusts or independent charities.
