Methodology
Transparent calculation
BuildMeter converts every input to a consistent internal unit, applies the selected allowance, and rounds products up to whole purchasable units.
Delivered heat = current energy × current efficiency. Proposed energy = delivered heat ÷ proposed efficiency. Annual savings = avoided energy cost + maintenance savings.
FAQ
Heating Energy Savings Calculator questions
Can different heating fuels be compared?+
Yes only after converting both to a consistent energy-equivalent basis and using the correct delivered-efficiency assumptions.
Is simple payback the same as return on investment?+
No. Simple payback ignores financing, discount rates, equipment life and future energy-price changes.
Why can real savings differ?+
Weather, thermostat settings, distribution losses, occupancy and equipment controls affect actual use.
