Landis+Gyr’s Carbon Reduction Enablement Model

This whitepaper details a carbon reduction enablement model for smart meters, quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) savings achieved through the deployment of Landis+Gyr’s smart meters. The model assesses the energy consumption reduction facilitated by smart meters and calculates the associated CO2 e avoided, utilizing country-specific data and methodologies validated by The Carbon Trust. By improving consumer awareness and enabling behavioral changes, smart meters contribute to significant energy use reductions, promoting a more sustainable energy management system.
