Scenario range
One city, three plausible setups
These are sensitivity scenarios—not a confidence interval. The reference setup is the ranking standard.
| Setup | Annual energy | Monthly average | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Efficient insulated | 525 kWh | $8/mo | $102/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 1,010 kWh | $16/mo | $196/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 1,738 kWh | $28/mo | $337/yr |
What colder targets change
Lower settings increase positive temperature degree-hours and chiller runtime. The same reference configuration is held constant.
| Target | Reference cost |
|---|---|
| 55°F | $184/year |
| 50°F | $196/year |
| 45°F | $209/year |
| 39°F | $227/year |
