Project Parameters
Boiler Efficiency80%
Hours of Operation8,300 hrs/yr
Ambient Temperature75 °F
Wind Speed0 mph
Fuel TypeNatural Gas
Fuel Cost$5.33/Mcf

Calculation Engine

All calculations performed using NAIMA 3E Plus (v5.1), based on ASTM C680 methodology.

Inventoried Condition

Each item assessed in as-found condition. Bare surfaces have no insulation present.

Upgraded Specification

Recommended upgrades include fiberglass, cellular foam, elastomeric, and ceramic fibre materials.

Emissions Methodology

CO₂ and NOₓ calculated using EPA fuel-specific emission factors applied to energy saved.
