[Bldg-sim] Existing Window Units (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Jim Dirkes]

This is a great place to start.  The 15 year old units certainly won't
be *better
*than these values.

I wonder how much *worse *they might be due to poor installation, corroded
and clogged evaporator and condensing coils and other wear and tear? 20%?
30%?
