Equipment Electricity Cost

Estimate electricity use from input power, equipment count and operating time. Apply your energy rate and a separately entered monthly charge.

Use equipment electricity cost →

Drywall Sheet Quantity

Deduct openings, add your area allowance and estimate whole sheets for one layer of one board size.

Use drywall sheet quantity →

Sealant Tube Quantity

Model a rectangular joint, add your loss allowance and round the purchase to whole tubes of the entered volume.

Use sealant tube quantity →

Lighting Retrofit Savings

Compare the same fixture count and annual hours at two entered input wattages, then add your maintenance saving assumption.

Use lighting retrofit savings →

Water Leak Cost

Turn a measured or assumed constant leak rate into volume, avoidable water and sewer charges, and a simple repair recovery ratio.

Use water leak cost →

Commercial Electricity Bill

Model one billing period with two sequential energy tiers, an entered billable demand, one fixed charge and a stated tax rule.

Use commercial electricity bill →

Battery Runtime Scenario

Apply usable share and one-way conversion efficiency to nominal DC energy, then divide available AC energy by a constant AC load.

Use battery runtime scenario →

Heat Pump vs Boiler Cost

Hold useful heat constant, apply an entered seasonal COP and boiler efficiency, then compare rounded energy and fixed operating costs.

Use heat pump vs boiler cost →

Capital Project NPV, IRR & Payback

Compare three year-end project cash flows using NPV, year-end recovery checkpoints and an IRR only when the numerical method supports it.

Use capital project npv, irr & payback →

Battery Arbitrage Scenario

Price one supplied charge/discharge cycle after round-trip loss and a user-stated degradation allowance, then extend it over counted cycles.

Use battery arbitrage scenario →

Cooling Energy Cost

Convert entered useful cooling energy through a matching COP or EER convention to an electrical-energy cost.

Use cooling energy cost →

Solar Simple Payback

Calculate annual value from supplied self-use and export quantities, then compare positive net savings with net installed cost.

Use solar simple payback →

Suspended Ceiling Tile & Material

Estimate ceiling tiles, whole packs and material cost for a rectangular room. Add wall-angle and runner costs from your independently reviewed grid takeoff when needed.

Use suspended ceiling tile & material →

Fan Air Power

Air power in kW = actual cubic metres per second × pressure rise in Pa ÷ 1,000.

Use fan air power →

Measured Heat Pump COP

Coefficient of performance is useful heating or cooling output divided by electrical input on matching energy and time boundaries.

Use measured heat pump cop →

Planar Thermal Conduction

Area-normalized resistance in m²·K/W is the sum of each layer’s thickness in metres divided by conductivity in W/(m·K).

Use planar thermal conduction →

Before you use these calculations

Use measured floor area, operating hours and equipment counts.

Separate a fixed charge from charges that fall when consumption falls.

Match baseline and proposed service levels before claiming a saving.

Start with the example, replace the assumptions with your measurements, then change one input to see its effect. Save or export the scenario if you need to keep its basis.
