For BOAT, the annual CO2 emissions would be significantly reduced from 3,622.09 kg to 2,163.77 kg by implementing the
proposed Wi-Fi downlight solution. This represents a yearly saving of 1,458 kg, which is a reduction of up to 40.26% compared
to the current emissions level. Refer to Table 6 for detailed calculations.
