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 | 581 kWh | $14/mo | $173/yr |
| Reference consumer setup | 1,133 kWh | $28/mo | $337/yr |
| Lightly insulated / exposed | 2,019 kWh | $50/mo | $601/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 | $311/year |
| 50°F | $337/year |
| 45°F | $366/year |
| 39°F | $405/year |
