EnCalcE Version 5.1 Released
Electricity appliance cost comparison calculator EnCalcE has been updated by JSutils to add the ability for CO2 to be displayed in pounds as well as Kilograms. Also includes various minor formatting improvements. EnCalcE calculates the cost of purchasing and running electrical appliances, allowing 2 alternative items to be compared under the same or different running conditions, this includes the difference in CO2 generation and can allow for annual inflation. It is also possible to compare mains run appliances with solar powered ones. The results can be saved to a log file for later analysis. Variables such as operating life, purchase cost and power (including standby power) can be independently varied for 2 items for specified payback times, hours of use and electricity cost to work out the true total cost of items. EnCalcE can cope with different charging rates for electricity at different times of the day.
