When reviewing an Autodesk® 360 Energy Analysis in the Results and Compare dialog, this chart compares estimated energy use for major fuel versus electricity. Major fuels include heating oil, natural gas, propane, and other resources. The percentage break-down is based on usage (using a common unit of kBtu), not costs.
Annualized energy cost and consumption information can inform building energy cost comparisons and early design decisions. Costs are estimated using state-wide, territory-wide, or nation-wide average utility rates.
For this chart, energy usage is converted as follows:
- 1 therm = 100 kBtu
- 1.0 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 3.413 kBtu
