Abstract
The method and device of the present disclosure can determine energy or cost savings of a climate control system, such as can be attributed to a treatment that has been incorporated into a climate control system.
Claims26
A method of determining savings in a climate control system, comprising:
- determining a pretreatment capacity of an evaporator coil in an evaporator coil chamber, the determining based on a pretreatment enthalpy difference;
- calculating a pretreatment efficacy of the system;
- determining a post-treatment capacity of the evaporator coil in the evaporator coil chamber, the determining based on a post-treatment enthalpy difference;
- calculating a post-treatment efficacy of the system;
- determining a pretreatment energy cost per usage time period;
- and
- determining a revised pretreatment energy cost per usage time period based at least in part on the post-treatment capacity.

A method of determining savings in a climate control system, comprising:
- determining a pretreatment efficacy of the climate control system;
- determining a post-treatment efficacy of the climate control system;
- determining a pretreatment energy cost per usage time period;
- and
- determining a revised pretreatment energy cost per usage time period based at least in part on the post-treatment efficacy.
2 more elements
A computing device, comprising:
- at least one input device configured to receive a plurality of input data;
- at least one output device configured to display a graphical user interface;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine a type of climate control system based on a plurality of first data;
- select, based on the type of climate control system, an evaluation interface to be displayed at the graphical user interface;
- and
- generate an amount of savings over a time period for a treatment incorporated into a climate control system based on pretreatment data and post-treatment data.
