• Is of a general nature, and may contain ‘typical’ values in order to provide a reasonable simulation;
• Is based on information provided by you and subject to our best interpretation of that information;
• Is based on weather averages and on optimal performance of the system we recommend for you and therefore subject to variability in as as-built environment
• Cannot reflect variability in actual energy use which may have a significant impact on savings potential
• Can in no way be considered financial advice and does not substitute professional financial advice in terms of an investment decision
