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 | 573 kWh | $14/mo | $170/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 1,116 kWh | $28/mo | $332/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 1,978 kWh | $49/mo | $589/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 | $306/year |
| 50°F | $332/year |
| 45°F | $361/year |
| 39°F | $400/year |
