Historical Costs Hardware - 45% Labor Hours - 25% System Design Programming Testing Check-out and commissioning Electrical Installation Labor – 30% Today’s Cost Hardware - 25% Labor Hours - 30% System Design Programming Testing Check-out and commissioning Electrical Installation Labor – 45% Where are the costs associated with a Control System installation Technology Improvements have driven the hardware costs of a control system down, while the cost of Labor has increased.
Control Industry Challenges Related to Energy Optimization • Need for additional instrumentation drives up the cost of a control system • Drives up hardware costs • Each added sensor or controlled device requires additional labor • Electrical installation • Field Check-out and Commissioning Business decisions are driven by a cost benefit analysis. Added Control System Cost Annual Energy Saved = Acceptable Payback
Is Energy Savings a Good Investment? • Can industry reduce the cost of control installation. • Reduce Hardware Cost • Reduce Installation Cost Can Internet 0 help reduce installation costs? Energy Cost Keep Rising
