HVAC ventilation schedule energy calculator

Calculate schedule energy and schedule energy cost with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Choose the currency for these amounts. Changing it keeps your numbers and does not convert exchange rates.

Use schedule energy and schedule energy cost to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Fan powers by schedule interval (kW)
1,0.5,0
Interval durations (hours)
8,8,8
Electricity price (USD/kWh)
0.2
Schedule energy (kWh)
12
Schedule energy cost (USD)
$2.40

Try another scenario

Fan powers by schedule interval (kW)
[2, 0.5, 0]
Interval durations (hours)
[8, 8, 8]
Electricity price (USD/kWh)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Schedule energy (kWh)

Integrate piecewise-constant power over supplied schedule durations.

Schedule energy cost (USD)

Integrate piecewise-constant power over supplied schedule durations.

Symbols and units

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Integrate piecewise-constant power over supplied schedule durations. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
