| Energy Efficiency Rating |
10 |
|
|
| This EER can usually be found right on the unit and refers to how many BTU's of cooling are accomplished per watt. These numbers are calculated under ideal conditions w/ brand new machines. So using this number is a very conservative estimate. This number ranges between 8 and 14. Though for older machines a number of 10 would be a conservative choice |

| Air Conditioners Capacity in BTUh |
120000 |
|
|
| British Thermal Units per hour are a measurment used to determine the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. Commercial units range fron 90,000 BTUhto over 1,000,000 BTUh. The most common being a 120,000 BTUh |

|
| How many condensers are going to cooled on the building. Our Commercial unit has 2 pumps in it that provide the water pressure for the misters. Each machine can cool up to 4 condensers |

| Cost of Electricity per KWh*** |
0.2 |
|
|
| Kilowatt's per hour. This can be found on your power bill, though is sometimes hard to decifer because there are different rates for peak hours and higher rates above a certain base usage. With current power costs, each KWh is ranging from $ .12 to more then $.19. |

| Expected Energy Savings |
30% |
|
|
| We are consistently getting between 20% and 30% savings on the energy used to power the air conditioner |

|
| The Cool-nSave Commercial employes two very efficient pumps to send the water to our mist nozzles that greatly increase the air conditioner's ability to transfer heat and hense operate much more efficiently. When in operation our pumps consume 60 watts (.06 KWh) per condenser. |

| ** - KWh (Kilowatt hour). A KWh is 1000 Watts being used for 1 hour or how much energy it takes to run (20) 50 watt light bulbs for one hour. |
|
|
|
| *** - Costs per KWh - to figure this number it is necessary to take your total varible costs of energy which include taxes and fees on top of the stated cost of electricity. It is also important to factor in the cost per KWh at the time of usage. Rates are normally much higher during peak hours (during the day) and during the summer months. The actual costs of the energy saved can be over $ .30 per KWh. |
