Energy Trust offers Pencil it Out, a tool to help estimate cost and energy savings of a potential project based on assumptions for items like energy costs, expected energy savings and equipment life. Estimates include simple annual payback, return on investment in terms of energy savings and increase in capitalized value. The tool does not constitute a guarantee of any energy-efficiency measure or any possible energy savings that might result, but it can help your customers see the potential value of energy-efficiency projects, along with other benefits they may not have considered. Try out the Pencil it Out tool here.
