Carbon Footprint meter prototype due to power consumption: Case of study Colombia

This paper presents the analysis and selection of different variables as CO2 Emission Factor and electrical variables to the construction of a carbon footprint meter due to power consumption to be employed in Colombia. It is discussed the importance the identification of carbon footprint production due to power generation and how it affects the environment, we select the emission factor of the national interconnection system (NIS), and we create a probe bank to measure the electrical variables and determinate the precision of the data collected compared to a calibration standard.
