Although I appreciate attempts to simulate energy usage and possible savings
by doing experiments like James Mackey described, the full picture is pretty
complicated and not easily simulated in the lab. We did not anticipate
water running down our walls and losing the salt windows in our FT-IR until
it happened. That was expensive. Also, so far, from viewing our actual
electricity bills, it appears we are saving money at the church by keeping
the temperature constant 24/7 rather than setting it back at night. This
doesn't even count any savings that can come from reduced organ or piano
maintenance, etc.
