Unrealistic yearly budget for utilities #31

Open mmm-sauce opened 2 months ago

mmm-sauce commented 2 months ago

1 million dollar utility budget $1/watt isn't often used for power measurement

mmm-sauce commented 2 months ago

Update the power usage budget, 1 watt is less than you may think, check city of victoria pages to find actual costs, search up a mcdonalds utility bill to get actual costs of everything

mmm-sauce commented 2 months ago

FYI power is often measured in kilowatt/hour, or kW/H https://members.tripod.com/danialle_weaver/mickey2.htm Might be a useful resource (Idk haven't read)

I thought it wasn't supposed to be realistic..

mmm-sauce commented 2 months ago

🤷‍♂️

mmm-sauce commented 2 months ago

The rest of the utility budget looks quite realistic, you don't have to update it if you don't want to

Superkai723 commented 2 months ago

I could update it

Superkai723 commented 2 months ago

$5.03 per unit is accurate though.

👍

brahyun commented 2 months ago

we have 4 billion dollar budget so its ok

Also there are many city-related fees, but our McLairds will be in the Pentagon, so no such fees should apply. Rather a rent fee should be added

HG-K7771 commented 2 months ago

FYI 1$/watt just makes no sense because watt is a measure of power, not energy

Superkai723 commented 2 months ago

I had no clue where it was going to be..

Superkai723 commented 2 months ago

They usually measure by watts and kilowatt hours for energy.

HG-K7771 commented 2 months ago

You should've checked it beforehand then, as fees really depend on the location. Or I should've pinged you

mmm-sauce commented 2 months ago

They usually measure by watts and kilowatt hours for energy. @Superkai723 I believe its watt hours and kilowatt hours.

One watt is equal to 1 Joule/1 Second so $1 per 1 joule/second doesn't really work but $1 per one hour of 1 joule/second makes sense

Doesn't matter too much but just some information that might be useful in the future

Yes, by watt hours or kilowatt hours, not by plain watts. You could also do it scientifically and measure it directly in joules

Units are right now, but the cost is unrealistic. If you round up, 1 kWh is worth 20 cents at our location, so 1 Wh would be 0.02 cents or 0.0002 dollars, and not 1$, so proposed electricity rate is 5000 times more expensive than it really is
