Cost Model For HVAC System

Building Technology Platform
UNDERFLOOR HVAC, WIRE AND CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This interactive financial model has been developed to provide the ability to compare the costs of
conventional service distribution methods for commercial office buildings with the Building Technology
Platform method of utilizing access floor, underfloor HVAC, and underfloor modular power and cable
management systems. To this end, we will be comparing only those items that change within the
service distribution methods and will not consider those items that remain the same.
To get started, ENTER YOUR PROJECT INFORMATION BELOW and press Quick Look for a typical cost
comparison based on typical industry averages or press Custom Look for a more specific cost
comparison of your project and the ability to modify numerous values for your specific project.

Faade:
Due to the additional
inch height per floor to accommodate the overhead HVAC system
ductwork, the traditional systems require a greater floor-to-floor height, resulting in a taller building
with a larger, and potentially more expensive, exterior closure system. This will be a premium for the
traditional solution. It will be assumed that the slab to slab height for the building utilizing traditional
service distribution is

Tenant Churn
When a tenant churns within a building, the timing to prepare the space for the next tenant and cost for new fit-out can be
significantly different between a traditional building and one that is fit-out with the BTP underfloor service distribution solution.
We have captured the benefit associated with these items in the "Build Speed" worksheet. What we have not captured and what
is the intent of this worksheet is to capture the material and labor savings associated with the BTP solution over Traditional with
respect to demolition of the space to return it to "as-built" conditions and the reduction in new tenant fit-out expenses.

Demolition Savings - Prepare Space for New Tenant:

The BTP underfloor distribution system is designed to be flexible since its power and air system are "plug & play". This is in contrast
to the traditional overhead system which consists of "fixed in place" power and HVAC distribution. Therefore when a tenant churns,
much of the traditional distribution needs to be gutted since it can not be easily and inexpensively moved to accomodate the needs
of the next tenant however the BTP air and power distribution "due to its play & plug" nature can be easily moved and therefore re-used
for the next tenant. This by its very nature makes the BTP building much more sustainable and provides a cost savings to both tenant
and developer.

Ceiling Finish
We will assume in this cost model that the conventional method of overhead service distribution
will include a suspended ceiling to hide the power, voice/data wire & cable, and HVAC ducting.
When using underfloor service distribution, all of these services will be hidden from view yet easily
accessible under the access floor. As a result, depending on the acoustical requirements, the suspended
ceiling system maybe eliminated thus giving designers more freedom over the treatment of the ceiling.
This worksheet will consider the cost savings associated with the elimination or partial elimination
of the suspended ceiling and treating the balance of the ceiling with a painted finish.

Notes:
1. Labor rate is national average fully burdened rate of a cabling installer.
2. City Cost Index from R.S. Means.
3. In this analysis, 48-port patch panels are used for data runs and 200-pair 110 frames are used for voice runs.
4. The vertical cable length diferential between overhead distribution and access floor distribution is 8'.
5. Zone cable distribution considers zones of 24 workstations each at an average of 100 sq. ft. per each workstation.
6. The average transition cable length is 30 ft. for access floor distribution and 40 ft. for overhead distribution.
7. Each patch panel represents 6U of rack space, (2U for the switches, 2U for the patch panel and 2U for wire management).
8. Rack dimensions are 7 ft. tall by 19" wide.
9. Material prices are Tier 1 distributor pricing.
10. Mark-up on material represents the contractor markup on material.
11. Office outlets consider 8' of 3/4" conduit for overhead distribution.
12. Plenum rated cable is assumed for all overhead and underfloor air applications. When using access floor for wire & cable management only,
non-plenum cabling is utilized.

Workstation Electrification - BTP vs. Traditional

BTP
We will assume in this model that the BTP method for workstation electrification is to utilize non-powered system furniture and (in the floor)
access floor electrical distribution boxes.
Therefore the costs associated with adding power to the workstation is simply the cost for the
access floor electrical box (PVD Servicenter).
Traditional
We will assume in this model that the traditional method for workstation electrification is to utilize powered system furniture. Therefore to capture
the costs associated with electrifying a workstation, we will determine the cost premium to add power to the system furniture.

We will assume in this model that the BTP method for workstation electrification is to utilize non-powered system furniture and (in the floor)
access floor electrical distribution boxes.
Therefore the costs associated with adding power to the workstation is simply the cost for the
access floor electrical box (PVD Servicenter).

Assumptions:
We will assume in this model that the traditional method for workstation electrification in the open plan space is to utilize non-powered system furniture and
workstation electrical terminations consisting of poke thru fittings with duplex receptacles & wall mount boxes with duplex receptacles.
The % of poke thru fittings vs. wall mount fittings is user defined. Therefore the costs associated with adding power to the workstation is simply
the cost for the poke thru and wall mount fittings with receptacles.

Reduction in Absenteeism
Some improvement in ventilation and indoor air quality at the breathing level can be expected by delivering the
fresh supply air at floor level and returning at the ceiling, resulting in an upward displacement of indoor air
and pollutant flow pattern. Underfloor air enables an optimum strategy to be utilized allowing mixing of supply
air with room air only in the occupied zone (up to 4-6 ft.). Above this height, stratified and more polluted
air is allowed to occur. The air that the occupant breathes will have a lower percentage of exhaust compared
to conventional uniformly mixed systems. Another benefit of providing local air supply is that it increases air motion
in the space and prevents the sensation of stagnant air conditions, often associated with poor air quality.
A reduction in absenteeism of up to 30% has been reported in several buildings utilizing the BTP concept.
Underfloor air and its associated benefits were named as contributing factors to this reduction.

Increase in Productivity
Research evidence indicates that occupant satisfaction, productivity, and health can be increased by giving individuals greater
control over their local environment and by improving the quality of indoor environments (thermal, acoustical, ventilation,
and lighting). Well designed underfloor air systems providing improved ventilation and thermal environments have been
associated with 3 - 7% increases in group work performance depending on the nature of the task.

HVAC Churn
Reconfiguration of an overhead HVAC system is rarely done when workstations are reconfigured due to the complexity and cost.
This results in an HVAC system that can not effectively change with the changes in the space. Generally the only time the overhead HVAC
system is changed is when a new independent control zone is required (such as: an addition of a private office) or when the reconfiguration
of the wall system within the space interferes with the existing overhead HVAC layout. Therefore the cost of churn for HVAC will compare
the cost of creating a new zone for overhead HVAC vs. Flexsys Underfloor Air and the cost for a diffuser relocation to avoid interferences.

Reduction in Energy Usage

Overall energy savings for underfloor HVAC systems vary depending on the system design.
Energy savings of up to 20% is possible when compared with a conventional HVAC system. These
savings include reductions in cooling energy consumption for conditioning air as well as
reductions in central fan energy for distribution. Some systems are also designed to
take advantage of the thermal mass of the concrete floor panels and floor slab underneath the floor
plenum for free cooling of the plenum air. Both the panels and the slab regulate the supply air
temperature and as a result, supply air temperature swings and peak cooling requirements are
reduced. Finally, some underfloor HVAC systems are operated with a night purge option to remove
heat accumulated during the day from occupied spaces.
