Energy Tools workspace

Fifteen free decision tools.

Select a tool below. One workspace opens at a time.

Planning-use notice

These tools provide simplified estimates from the inputs you enter. They do not constitute an energy audit, tariff quote, engineering design, savings guarantee, or investment recommendation.

Tools 01–03 · Open access

Fast calculations for early audit questions.

Select a tool. Opening another closes the current workspace.

Workspace preferences

Choose your reporting currency and working units.

Currency choices label your own inputs and results; they do not apply a live foreign-exchange rate.

Tool 01Electricity Cost EstimatorEstimate monthly and annual electricity cost from consumption and tariff.
New to this? Explain the inputsPlain-language definitions and examples

Use values from actual bills, meters, nameplates, drawings, or operating records where possible.

Monthly use
Electricity consumed during one billing month. Find it on the bill beside kWh or units consumed.Example: 25,000 kWh
Planning preset
A broad starting tariff category. Choose the category closest to the account, then verify the real blended rate on the bill.Example: Non-residential
Blended tariff
Average price paid for each unit of electricity, including the energy charges you want included in the estimate.Bill total ÷ billed kWh
Tool 01

Electricity Cost Estimator

Convert monthly consumption and a blended utility or supplier tariff into monthly and annual cost.

ECG presets apply only to GHS and are illustrative starting points. Always replace them with the blended rate on your current bill.
Estimated electricity costGHS 52,500 / month

GHS 630,000 per year. Add demand charges, levies, taxes, and backup-power costs separately.

Planning estimate from user inputs—not engineering advice or a professional assessment.

Tool 02Energy Use IntensityNormalize annual electricity use by gross floor area.
New to this? Explain the inputsPlain-language definitions and examples

Use values from actual bills, meters, nameplates, drawings, or operating records where possible.

Annual electricity use
Total electricity consumed across twelve months. Add the kWh from twelve consecutive bills.Example: 300,000 kWh/year
Gross floor area
Total usable and support floor area served by the energy account, measured consistently.Example: 5,000 m²
Tool 02

Energy Use Intensity

Normalize annual electricity use by gross floor area for consistent facility tracking.

Electricity EUI60 kWh/·year

Standard reference equivalent: 60 kWh/m²·year. Peer comparison requires consistent area definitions, hours, climate, occupancy, and building use.

Planning estimate from user inputs—not engineering advice or a professional assessment.

Tool 03Simple Payback & Five-Year ViewScreen project cost against estimated annual savings.
New to this? Explain the inputsPlain-language definitions and examples

Use values from actual bills, meters, nameplates, drawings, or operating records where possible.

Project cost
Total expected installed cost, not only the equipment purchase price.Include equipment, labour, controls, delivery, and commissioning
Annual savings
Verified or reasonably estimated reduction in operating cost during one year.Current annual cost minus proposed annual cost
Tool 03

Simple Payback & Five-Year View

Screen a project using initial cost and estimated annual savings before lifecycle analysis.

Simple payback excludes financing, maintenance, escalation, tax, residual value, and the time value of money.
Simple payback2.5 years

Illustrative five-year savings less initial cost: GHS 150,000.

Planning estimate from user inputs—not engineering advice or a professional assessment.
