Energy Cost Calculator for Air Cooled Chillers

This cost calculator is a screening tool that estimates a product's lifetime energy cost savings at variou
efficiency levels. Maintenance and installation costs do not vary significantly among the same produc
different efficiencies; so, these costs are not included in this calculator tool.

As a screen tool, the results are only as good as the input provided. Therefore it should not be consid
an accurate calculation of the final operating costs of the equipment. Rather it gives the user a feel fo
savings derived from choosing one piece of equipment over another.

If an accurate estimation of the energy consumption is required for your project, you may want to inq
about Xcel Energy's Engineering Assistance Studies or their Energy Design Assistance programs. Or t
the engineer in charge of your design about performing an energy simulation of your building and its
conditioning system.

Several daily operating schedules have been input for you.

You may choose one or create your own custom daily
load profile. "Base Load" indicates that the unit operates
at 100% throughout the time of operation. To create your
own, choose "Custom" and fill in the blanks at the right.
