Please note: These calculations are hypothetical estimates only. They are based upon a number of factors, including your computer input, average heating/cooling energy consumption in 256 cities around the United States and Canada, average fuel costs in various regions of the United States and Canada, laboratory controlled air infiltration measurements and reasonable assumptions of average heat loss or gain attributable to air infiltration controllable by DuPont Tyvek® Weatherization System Products in an average home. Because factors affecting energy savings are so variable, these hypothetical calculations are made solely for the purpose of demonstrating that DuPont Tyvek® Weatherization System Products, if properly installed, can provide meaningful energy savings.

These calculations are not meant to be nor should they be used as actual or expected energy savings claims for housing using DuPont Tyvek® Weatherization System Products. Numerous variables including living habits of occupants, fuel costs, house construction and location, weather conditions, etc. can significantly affect energy savings attributable to such products.

The closest city to the zip code provided for which long-term weather data is available and upon which calculations were performed is PHILADELPHIA.
