Device Inventory
Itemize all equipment with model, rated power (W), quantity, and duty cycle to ensure per-device accuracy in calculations.
A consistent calculator reduces estimation errors, creates auditable records of assumptions, and supports budget and compliance decisions. Clear inputs and documented outputs make comparisons between scenarios repeatable and help justify capital or operational changes to stakeholders.
Organizations and roles that commonly prepare energy usage estimates include operations, facilities, and sustainability teams responsible for budgeting and reporting.
Knowing which role completes each section helps allocate responsibilities and keep the calculator accurate and auditable.
Itemize all equipment with model, rated power (W), quantity, and duty cycle to ensure per-device accuracy in calculations.
Document typical daily and seasonal operating hours and days per year to model realistic annual consumption profiles.
Include utility rate, power factor assumptions, and unit conversions (kW to kWh, therms to BTU) with cited sources.
Account for system losses, maintenance impacts, and nameplate vs measured efficiency to avoid underestimating usage.
Apply tiered rates, fixed charges, and demand fees where applicable to estimate monthly and annual cost accurately.
Capture who entered each value, the date, and version so assumptions can be validated during review or incentive audits.
