DGH Damp-Dorm Fit Score
The DGH Damp-Dorm Fit Score is a 0-10 composite (higher = better) composite score. additive composite (0-10), five components of 0-2. Sizing fit = 2 if ENERGY STAR measured capacity is 25 pints/day or less, else 2 - 0.06 x (capacity - 25), floored at 0. Floor footprint = 2 x (smallest depth x width in the roster) / (this depth x width). Height = 2 x (shortest height in the roster) / (this height). Tank endurance = 2 x (this days-per-empty) / (best days-per-empty), where days = tank gallons x 8 / ENERGY STAR measured capacity. Running cost = 2 x (lowest ENERGY STAR kWh/yr in the roster) / (this kWh/yr). Published by DormGearHQ and last updated 2026-09-18, the score currently evaluates 5 products.
