Make a Cost-Effective Purchase: Save More than $1,600 by Buying ENERGY STAR
FEMP has calculated that the required ENERGY STAR-qualified air-cooled ice machine saves money if priced no more than $1,620 above the less efficient model. The best available model saves up to $1,740. Table 1 compares three types of air-cooled ice machines and calculates the lifetime cost savings of purchasing efficient models. Federal purchasers can assume products that meet ENERGY STAR efficiency requirements are life cycle cost-effective.
| Table 1. Lifetime Savings for Efficient Air-Cooled Ice Machine Models | |||
| Performance | Best Available | ENERGY STAR | Less Efficient |
| Annual Ice Production | 100,000 lb | 100,000 lb | 100,000 lb |
| Energy Consumption Rate | 6.8 kWh/100 lb | 7.0 kWh/100 lb | 9.8 kWh/100 lb |
| Annual Energy Use | 6,800 kWh/year | 7,000 kWh/year | 9,800 kWh/year |
| Annual Energy Cost | $612 | $630 | $882 |
| Lifetime Energy Cost | $3,940 | $4,060 | $5,680 |
| Lifetime Energy Cost Savings | $1,740 | $1,620 | ====== |
