The estimated annual consumption for three rooms, used for an event, with 500 hours of brightness each is 1,500kW, which is less than half that of an energy-saving light bulb, which consumes 3,450kW.
The estimated annual consumption for the computers associated with the three rooms, used for the organisation of an event, is 480kWh; an energy-saving computer consumes 360kWhwith a reduction in emissions of 25.4kg CO2.
The estimated totala nnual consumption for an office consisting of three rooms, used for the organisation of an event, is 4,500kW: if the energy sources are those of the energy mix, then the CO2 emissions are 958kg, if they are renewable energy sources then the CO2 emissions are 0.
Printing one ream of paper per month is equivalent to 28.8kg of paper per year: not printing the tickets results in a benefit of 12,672 litres of water, 218.8kWh of energy consumption and 46.7kg of CO2.
