Model boundary. HVAC electricity savings are a planning estimate. Actual cruise HVAC performance varies with ambient temperature and humidity, occupancy, fresh-air requirements, cabin/public-area setpoints, chiller part-load performance, chilled-water and seawater temperatures, fan/pump curves, heat recovery, equipment condition, itinerary, shore-power use and generator dispatch. Advanced climate weighting is a screening adjustment, not a thermodynamic load simulation. Validate vessel trend data, OEM curves, class requirements and shipyard quotations before investment.
