The authors present requirements for creating alternative energy conserving designs including energy management and architectural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, electronic and optical design. Parameters of power, energy, life cycle costs and benefit for resource for an evaluation by the interested parties are discussed. They present an analysis of power systems through a seasonal power distribution diagram. An analysis of cost systems includes capital cost from the power components, annual costs from the utility energy use, and finance costs with loans, taxes, settlement and design fees. Equations are transposed to the evaluative parameter and are uniquely explicit with consistent symbols, parameter definitions, dual and balanced units, unit conversions, criteria for operation, incorporated constants for rapid calculations, references to data in the handbook, other common terms, and instrumentation for the measurement. Each component equation has a key power diagram.
