  1. Life Cycle Cost Abbas Shirian, PE Certified GeoExchange Designer

  2. Life Cycle Cost Analysis “to evaluate all cost factors including first cost, operation, maintenance, replacement, and estimated energy use over a period of years for alternatives that equally satisfy functional requirements”.

  3. Initial Cost & Design Variables • Equipment – Standard Efficiency or High Efficiency • Drilling cost - Borehole Depth, Pipe Size & Site Conditions • Piping Accessories • Outside Air & Ventilation System • Distribution & Pumping System • System Design • Controls System • Value of Floor Square Footage For Mechanical Rooms • Additional Cost for Structural Reinforcement • Additional Cost for Roof Access and Repairs • Additional Cost for Sound Proofing

  4. Service Life & Replacement • Life Expectancy of HVAC Equipment • Life of Ground Loop Heat Exchanger • Life of Water Distribution/Equipment • Life of Air Distribution System • Life of Control System

  5. Energy Costs • Utility Structure of Electric Rates • Natural Gas and Fuel Cost • Inflation Rate • Equipment Efficiencies • Pumping Efficiency

  6. GSHP & Gas/Elec HVAC Heating Energy Cost

  7. Ground Source Heat Pump • Electricity at $0.08/kWh & cop at 3.7 • $0.08/kW x kW/3412 Btu x 100,000 Btu/therm x 1/cop = • $0.63/therm or $6.30/MMBtu • Gas/Electric HVAC System • Natural gas at $0.90/therm & 80% efficiency • $0.90/therm x 1/efficiency = • $1.13/therm or $11.30/MMBtu

  8. Operating, Maintenance and Replacement Costs • ASHRAE • Mean’s Handbook • Equipment Manufacturers • Contractors • Owner’s O&M

  9. Salvage Value • Zero out at end of life for all alternatives • Ground Heat Exchanger Salvage Value

  10. Cost of Money • Depreciation Method • Energy Cost Inflation Rate • Interest Rate • Percent Financed • Income Tax Rate • Study Life • Depreciation Life

  11. Typical Financial Cost • Life of Analysis 25 yrs • Cost of Borrowing Money 5-10% • Inflation 3-5% • Electric Energy Escalation 2-3% • Natural Gas Energy Escalation 3-5% • Tax Rate 0-33% • Cost of Insurance 2%

  12. HVAC First Cost ($/sq.ft.)Based on 77,000 sq.ft. school & 220 ton cooling • Geothermal Heat Pump ($2000/borehole)$25.22 • Geothermal Heat Pump ($3000/borehole)$28.08 • Water Source Heat Pump$22.81 • VAV, AHU & TU/HW (Water Cooled Chiller)$30.04 • VAV, AHU & TU/HW (Air Cooled Chiller)$27.85 • Packaged Rooftop DX/Gas$20.39 • Indoor Air Washer &HW Heating $28.85 • Fan Coil (4- Pipe) (Water Cooled Chiller) $28.68 • Fan Coil (4- Pipe) (Air Cooled Chiller) $26.49

  13. Real Estate/Structural Savings • No mechanical rooms to house boilers or chillers with geothermal and air-cooled unitary • No fan rooms or penthouses with geothermal heat pump (horizontal) and 4-pipe fan coil unit systems

  14. Annual Maintenance Cost ($/Ton) • Geothermal Heat Pump $67.24 • Water Source Heat Pump $70.45 • VAV, AHU & TU/HW (Water Cooled Chiller) $43.23 • VAV, AHU & TU/HW (Air Cooled Chiller) $40.85 • Packaged Rooftop DX/Gas $59.24 • Indoor Air Washer & HW Heating $70.45 • Fan Coil (4- Pipe) (Water Cooled Chiller) $56.04 • Fan Coil (4- Pipe) (Air Cooled Chiller) $53.23

  15. Life Cycle Cost • Geothermal Heat Pump • Water Source Heat Pump • VAV, AHU & TU/HW (Water Cooled Chiller) • VAV, AHU & TU/HW (Air Cooled Chiller) • Packaged Rooftop DX/Gas • Indoor Air Washer & HW Heating • Fan Coil (4- Pipe) (Water Cooled Chiller) • Fan Coil (4- Pipe) (Air Cooled Chiller)
