Losing your cool over your air-conditioner blowing a hole in your monthly budget?

Consumers can key in details such as the type of building (house, bank, office, restaurant, etc.), the type and capacity of the air conditioner, the energy efficiency rating of the product, the number of ACs in the building, and the number of hours and days it will be used. The tool will calculate the energy cost and energy saved in five years and 10 years.
Since the electricity tariff is the same throughout a State, the BEE plans to have at least one city in each State added to the list of cities it has on the website.
