When the tool recommends an energy savings measure, how does it calculate the potential savings?
The online energy assessment has a database of energy efficient strategies. The tool individually models your building with each of these measures and displays the results if annual energy cost savings are positive. The measures shown often have a reasonable payback for your building type. Note: The payback for implementing a particular savings measure is not provided. The cost of implementing savings recommendations will vary greatly from building to building as they depend on the exact cost of equipment chosen, installation, labor, etc. The savings recommendation numbers should be used as a starting point when deciding what types of energy savings measures you should implement.
