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 | 594 kWh | $15/mo | $177/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 1,163 kWh | $29/mo | $346/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 2,089 kWh | $52/mo | $621/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 | $320/year |
| 50°F | $346/year |
| 45°F | $375/year |
| 39°F | $414/year |
