House Note: The annual energy performance figures shown here were generated with regression expressions provided by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (windows.lbl.gov/EStar2008). Results assume a typical (new construction: 2250 sq ft / existing construction: 2150 sq ft) house with 15% window-to-floor area. The windows are equally distributed on all four sides and include typical shading (interior shades, overhangs, trees, and neighboring buildings). U-factor and SHGC are for the total window including frame. The costs shown here are annual costs for space heating and space cooling only and thus will be less than total utility bills. Costs for lights, appliances, hot water, cooking, and other uses are not included in these figures. The mechanical system uses a gas furnace for heating and air conditioning for cooling. Natural gas prices used are projections of the average natural gas price for the heating seasons of 2010-2020 in real 2009 dollars. Projections are based on state-specific natural gas retail price data by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) for the heating seasons of 2006-08 and are adjusted based on EIA projections of national natural gas price trends for 2010-2020. Electricity prices used are projections of the average electricity price for the cooling seasons of 2010-2020 in real 2009 dollars. Projections are based on state-specific electricity retail price data by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) for the cooling seasons of 2006-08 and are adjusted based on EIA projections of national electricity price trends for 2010-2020 (www.eia.doe.gov).
