📍 Application: Hotel pool transitioning from continuous to optimized circulation schedule

❌ Previous Operation (Continuous 24/7):

• Running hours: 8,760 hours annually
• Annual consumption: 5.6 kW × 8,760 hrs = 49,056 kWh
• Annual cost: 49,056 kWh × £0.2635 = £12,927

✅ Optimized Schedule (12 hours daily during peak use):

• Running hours: 4,380 hours annually
• Annual consumption: 5.6 kW × 4,380 hrs = 24,528 kWh
• Annual cost: 24,528 kWh × £0.2635 = £6,463

💰 Annual Saving: £6,464
🌱 Environmental Impact: 24,528 kWh reduction = approximately 5.5 tonnes CO₂ saved annually
