Lecture Objectives: • Answer question related to HW 4 • Learn about Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LLC) tools in eQUEST • Learn about specifics related to modeling of HVAC systems
HW 4Modeling based on Measured Data Location: Syracuse
What are the reasons for the energy simulation? • Design improvement • Economic benefits • Budget planning
Life Cycle Cost Analysis • Engineering economics
Life Cycle Cost Analysis • Engineering economics • Compound-amount factor (f/p) • Present worth factor value (p/f) • Future worth of a uniform series of amount (f/a) • Present worth of a uniform series of amount (p/a) • Gradient present worth factor (GPWF)
Parameters in life cycle cost analysis Beside energy benefits expressed in $, you should consider: • First cost • Maintenance • Operation life • Change of the energy cost • Interest (inflation) • Taxes, Discounts, Rebates, other Government measures
Example • Using eQUEST analyze the benefits (energy saving and pay back period) of installing - low-e double glazed window - variable frequency drive in the school building in NYC
