Choosing by Advantages System ComponentsWeighting of Selection Criteria
choosing by advantageSystems Analysis Conceptual Design
Analyzing District Systems • Review Existing Conditions • Demand • Baseline • Gold + • Deep Green • Supply • Baseline • Individual plant for each building • District level systems • Sustainability, Risk, Financial
DEF Analysis Conceptual Design
THERMAL ENERGY CUP COMPARISON Best System, Least Cost Economics Choosing by Advantages Instantaneous Payback No Payback Good Better Best
THERMAL ENERGY Rough Comparison to Building Scale <4 years <6 years ~6 years • Assumptions: • Used % premium from VRF @ NBV: • CapEx (CWL was $37.3M vs VRF $31.3M) • O&M (CWL was $.50/sfvs VRF $1.15/sf • Energy performance predicted by DEF: • 8.5% less energy needed annually Years
