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	663 kWh	$8/mo	$100/yr
Reference consumer setup	1,315 kWh	$16/mo	$198/yr
Lightly insulated / exposed	2,439 kWh	$31/mo	$367/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	$183/year
50°F	$198/year
45°F	$214/year
39°F	$235/year

Reference scenario

Monthly climate and cost profile

Daily low/high normals become positive cooling degree-hours; provisional pages use approximate profiles until NOAA retrieval succeeds.

February	45–69°F	73 kWh	$11
March	50–76°F	90 kWh	$14
April	56–83°F	100 kWh	$15
May	64–91°F	123 kWh	$19
June	73–100°F	145 kWh	$22
July	77–100°F	152 kWh	$23
