existing number/ stock/ base
Explanation:
Always a tricky one to render in English. It is used in the same way as "parc installé" in French, and refers to the total number of something, such as a fleet of cars, housing stock, etc.
Here it refers to the "stock" or "number" of microwaves owned.

Explanation:

Looking at the installed base of household appliances, early replacement may contribute significantly to the protection of resources. For dishwashers, the promotion of machine dishwashing instead of washing dishes by hand would lead to significant savings in energy and water consumption.
