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 | 627 kWh | $8/mo | $100/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 1,235 kWh | $16/mo | $197/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 2,251 kWh | $30/mo | $358/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 | $182/year |
| 50°F | $197/year |
| 45°F | $213/year |
| 39°F | $233/year |
