CAC Cost v3.0 -- October 3, 200 These cost estimates represent the average costs of multiple designs at each efficiency level. They are based on 

reverse engineering inputs and assumptions for baseline equipment produced under each designated efficiency 

standard. Cost data were developed from several sources and do not represent the designs or costs of a particular 

manufacturer, component supplier, or product. They may not represent equipment produced under the current 

efficiency standard.

These cost estimates represent the average costs of multiple 

designs at each efficiency level. They are based on reverse 

engineering inputs and assumptions for baseline equipment 

produced under each designated efficiency standard. Cost data 

were developed from several sources and do not represent the 

designs or costs of a particular manufacturer, component supplier, 

or product. They may not represent equipment produced under the 

current efficiency standard Enter a new cost under "New" next to the desired cost object to see the effect on the relative 

cost estimate.
