Payback Period
Step 1: Calculate Your Current Costs
Energy Costs
- Calculate monthly kWh usage × your rate per kWh
- Include HVAC (40-50% of total), lighting (30-40%), and dehumidification (10-20%)
- Example: 50,000 kWh/mo × $0.12/kWh = $6,000/month = $72,000/year
Labor Costs
- Hours per week spent on manual environmental monitoring and adjustments
- Example: 20 hours/week × $25/hour × 52 weeks = $26,000/year
Crop Loss Costs
- Annual losses from powdery mildew, bud rot, or environmental stress
- Example: 5% yield loss × $200K annual production = $10,000/year
Step 2: Calculate Your Savings with IOGRU
Energy savings (35% reduction):$25,200/year
Labor savings (50% reduction):$13,000/year
Crop loss prevention (80% reduction):$8,000/year
Total Annual Savings:$46,200/year
