Compliance Review Equipment Load with compliance review equipment connected load of 1.2 kW: a worked example

This worked example runs the compliance review equipment load numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: compliance review equipment connected load of 1.2 kW instead of the typical 2.4 kW. Estimate energy cost for compliance review workstations, scanners, and electronic batch record equipment.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Compliance review equipment connected load: 1.2 kW (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 2.4)
  • Compliance review equipment runtime: 180 hr (held at the documented default)
  • Blended QA area electricity rate: 0.16 $ / kWh (held at the documented default)
  • Batch records or release packages supported: 36 records (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Compliance review equipment energy cost = connected load × review equipment runtime × QA area electricity rate.
  • Compliance review equipment energy cost works out to 34.56 $ energy at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Compliance review equipment energy used works out to 216 kWh at these inputs.
  • Review equipment energy cost per record works out to 0.96 $ / record at these inputs.
  • Hourly review equipment energy cost works out to 0.19 $ / hr at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where compliance review equipment connected load sits at 2.4 kW and the headline result is 69.12 $ energy, this scenario comes in 50% below the baseline at 34.56 $ energy.
  • Use it when allocating QA and facilities utility overhead to batch records or benchmarking the energy footprint of compliance infrastructure. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Compliance review equipment energy cost: 34.56 $ energy (headline result)
  • Compliance review equipment energy used: 216 kWh
  • Review equipment energy cost per record: 0.96 $ / record
  • Hourly review equipment energy cost: 0.19 $ / hr
