Energy Savings % Indoor Vs. Window R/F
A/C is Off 
Excluding Summer Energy Savings
Definition of Columns in the table
B = Average Outdoor temperature (temperature of Window R/F's Condenser).   
C = Average Indoor temperature, 70 F or higher (temperature of Indoor R/F's Condenser). 
D = Average temperature inside the R/F (set constant at 29 F). 
Ti = C - D = Temperature difference between the Indoor R/F's evaporator and condenser. 
Tw = B - D = Temperature difference between the Window R/F's evaporator and condenser.  
G = Energy Savings % assuming that both R/Fs have the same COP (efficiency).  
G = (Ti - Tw) / Ti   Unlike Column H, it does not include the higher efficiency of  window R/F. 
H = Energy Savings % taking into account the higher COP (efficiency) of the window R/F. 
H = 1 - (Tw x Tw) / (Ti x Ti)  Unlike column G, it includes the higher efficiency of window R/F.
