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 | 656 kWh | $9/mo | $104/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 1,294 kWh | $17/mo | $206/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 2,374 kWh | $31/mo | $378/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 | $189/year |
| 50°F | $206/year |
| 45°F | $224/year |
| 39°F | $245/year |
