This document discusses the costs and savings from implementing an energy conservation strategy for an HVAC system. It estimates that scheduling the system to be off for 8 hours per day would save the business around $138 per year based on a cost of 5 cents per hour when the 237W system is off and an electricity rate of $0.20/kWh. Implementing conservation for part of each day could provide meaningful annual savings for this business.

4. • Assuming rate of $.20/kWh, this system costs
approximately 5 cents per hour when off.
(237W / 1000 =.237 kWh x Utility Rate of $.20/kWh = $.0474)
• Scheduling conservation for 8 hours/day on this system
will save this business approximately $138.41 per year.
($.0474 x 8 hours = $.3792 per day x 365 days = $138.408)
