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 | 486 kWh | $5/mo | $65/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 926 kWh | $10/mo | $123/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 1,551 kWh | $17/mo | $206/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 | $118/year |
| 50°F | $123/year |
| 45°F | $130/year |
| 39°F | $139/year |
