INFORMED DECISIONS
Lifecycle Cost Analysis (LCA)Systems Selection & Optimization
Heating/cooling Load Calculations Selected 3 alternatives for chiller and boiler plants Performed energy simulations for each selected alternatives Performed first-cost analysis for each alternative Performed LCA using results from Energy simulations Continued Analysis while foundations were being poured
Successes Within Budget Efficient Chillers will save $2.5M over 20 year life Efficient Boilers will save $2.4M over 20 year life
