1 For charts on natural gas, oil and propane gas, substitute the following cost figures:

a. Cost per therm-10¢, 20e, 30e, 40¢, 50e¢, 60¢.

b. Cost per gallon (oil)—76¢, 79, 82¢, 85¢, 88¢, 91e, 94¢, 97¢, $1.00.

c. Cost per gallon (propane)-35¢, 40¢, 45¢, 50¢, 55¢, 60¢.

The following table shows the heat loss values (in thousand Btu's/hr.) to be used in the cost grid:

Beside each cost in the cost grid, and below the appropriate heat loss value taken from the heat loss table, place the cost estimate for the model being labeled using the table costs in place of the national average cost and using the heat loss values in place of the design heat loss used in the table with the national average cost.

APPENDIX H TO PART 305-COOLING PERFORMANCE AND COST FOR CENTRAL AIR

[blocks in formation]

For each model, display three annual operating costs, based on 8.29¢ per kilowatt hour, rounded to the nearest $10, corresponding to the three building heat gains from the chart below:

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][subsumed][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][subsumed][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][subsumed][merged small][merged small][merged small][subsumed][merged small][subsumed][merged small][subsumed][merged small][subsumed][merged small][merged small][merged small][subsumed][merged small][subsumed][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][subsumed][merged small][merged small]

The values of building heat gain are to be considered cooling capacities in the calculation of annual operating cost in accordance with 10 CFR 430.22 (m)(1)(i).

Include the following note on every fact sheet page that lists annual operating costs.

NOTE: These figures are based on U.S. Government standard tests and are for national averages of 1000 cooling load hours and 8.29¢/KWH. Your cost will vary depending on your local energy rate and how you use the product. A method for estimating your cost of operation is given [direct user to location].

The methodology referred to in the note is provided below. This information shall be included a least once in all compendiums of fact sheets. If separate fact sheets are prepared for individual distribution to consumers, this methodology must be provided on or with the unbound fact sheets.

HOW TO ESTIMATE YOUR COOLING COST

To estimate your actual cost of operation, find your cooling load hours from the map, your average annual operating cost from the National Average Annual Operating Cost Table, and determine your electrical rate in cents per kilowatt hour (KWH) from your electric bill.
