Energy Audit can handle unlimited systems to compare and it will show different detail levels for each comparison. The System Comparison dialog presents five tabs, each one for a specific aspect of the comparison being made. Tab “Table” lists the cumulative operating costs of the systems under comparison, year by year, and the consequently savings of the choice; Tab “Line Graph” is basically the same information presented as a graph; Tab “Bar chart” presents two bars, one for system A and one for system B, showing the cumulative annual cost for each system, disaggregated by category (cooling, heating, hot water and appliances). Tab “Economics” shows a finance analysis in terms of investments for the two possible choices. Tab “Sound” compares the noise level produced by the systems being compared, graphically and in sound (it plays simulated sounds for each system).
