Exception: Reduced I²R losses in cables can slightly lower kW — usually negligible. Define: Degree-Day method for estimating heating energy. Card 9 – Back A: Heating Energy (MMBtu) = (HDD × UA × 24 hr/day) / (System Efficiency × 10^6) 000 × 0.08 = $160
Savings = $2,000,000 × 0.08 = $160,000 ROI = ($160,000 / $250,000) × 100 =
