EnCalcL calculates the cost of purchasing and running water using appliances, allowing items to be compared under the same or different conditions, or the true cost of one item to be worked out simply. The results which can include annual inflation can be saved to a log file for later analysis.
EnCalcL is part of the JSutils group of software utilities which have a theme of energy conservation. Variables such as water use, number of uses per day and investment cost can be independently varied for 2 items for specified payback times and water cost to work out the true total cost. Requires a registration code (free for personal non commercial use).
