The Heating Cost Calculator is a tool for single-family and small multi-family houses with up to six residential units that enables easy comparison of different heating systems. By inputting data about the existing system, investment costs, energy prices, interest rates, or tax deductions, users can estimate and compare the costs and CO2-emissions of various heating options. The tool provides detailed insights into energy, operating, and investment costs.
A key feature of the calculator is the ability to generate a comprehensive PDF report that presents a comparison of costs and CO2 emissions per year for the selected systems. This report offers valuable guidance for analyzing the current energy usage of a building and supports informed decision-making when considering upgrades to the heating system.
Whether planning a renovation or switching to renewable heating, the Heating Cost Calculator simplifies the complex analysis of costs and emissions. It helps architects and homeowners evaluate energy efficiency and sustainability and is thus a useful tool for environmentally conscious decisions.
