The impact of passive solar features on heating, cooling and energy savings is evaluated using e-Quest simulation software.
Various performance factors such as solar fraction, collector efficiency and primary energy savings are evaluated to optimize the key system design variables which include collector tilt, storage volume, type and size of the solar collector.
A provider's expenditure savings are evaluated against a benchmark.
In addition, BD-BR for bitrate increase, BD-PSNR (dB) for objective quality decrease, and ATS for average time saving were evaluated.
The considered assumption yields an important saving in terms of computational complexity by strongly limiting the number of candidate clusters with respect to (11): this complexity saving is evaluated in Section 4 for a typical LTE scenario.
Gross financial savings for each intervention year were evaluated using general linear modeling of the difference in claims cost (all hospital claims paid by HCF) from the base period to each specific intervention year while controlling for base cost and additional covariates delineated above.
Based on the differences in consumptive water use, different land use land cover change scenarios were evaluated with regard to savings of crop water.
Since PN costs were evaluated separately from BSI-attributable costs, contributions of each to total savings could be identified.
Potential cost savings should be evaluated in the context of differences in manufacturers' patient-assistance programs, copayments, and institutional costs.
