HVAC Life-Cycle Analysis

E3 Designs will perform a complete Life-Cycle Analysis of the existing heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems at your facility. The goal will be to develop a plan to address components and systems in need of immediate attention, along with the development of a capital project plan.

• The first step in the analysis is to collect historical data including utility bills, original plans and specifications, and any maintenance and repair information available.
• A site survey is then performed to identify and inspect each HVAC component.
• A Life-Cycle Analysis of each system will be performed including estimates of operating, maintenance, and replacement costs as well as remaining useful life.
• Reports will be created describing the existing systems, including age and remaining useful life, current condition, operating efficiency, estimated replacement value, and any specific operational problems which have been identified.
• With this information, E3 Designs will assist in the development of capital budget requirements over the next ten years.
• Recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the HVAC systems will be included based on the requirements of the client, and will include:

  • a description of the modifications,

  • estimated installed cost, and

  • any impact on operating costs.
