<<Sample premises>>
[Electric refrigerators]
The estimated annual electricity cost is calculated for an electric refrigerator used in average conditions (ambient temperatures of 30oC and 15oC, refrigerated compartment door opened and closed 35 times/day, etc.) and is based on the amount of electricity used annually (kWh/yr) multiplied by 22 (yen/kWh). The actual cost will vary depending on the refrigerator usage in the particular household and the electricity supplier. [Gas water heaters] The estimated annual amount of fuel used is based on a single family of 3 people. The actual amount used will vary depending on factors such as the number of people in the household. The amount is calculated based on a supplied water temperature of 15oC and a heated water temperature of 40oC. |
