EV-A: LIFE-CYCLE COSTING PARAMETERSAND BUILDING COMPONENT COST INPUT DATA.Life-Cycle Costing ParametersThis report section echoes data originally specified by the user in PDLand automatically passed to the ECONOMICS program.DI SCOUNT RATELABOR INFLATIONRATEMATERIALSINFLATIONRATEPROJECT LI FEis the rate in per cent used in calculating present value.is the annual inflation rate (relative to generalinflation) of labor cost, in per cent. Installation,maintenance, and overhaul costs are inflated at this ratein calculating present values.IS THE ANNUAL INFLATION RATE (relative to generalinflation) of material costs, in per cent. Capitalreplacement costs are inflated at this rate in calculatingpresent values.is the period, in years, over which the life-cycle costanalysis is performed. This number can range from 1 to 25years.Building Component Cost Input DataThis report section echoes building (nonplant) component cost data inputwith each COMPONENT-COST instruction. The costs here are in current dollars,that is, they correspond to the prices that apply at the start of the anaiyslsperiod.COST NAMENUMBER OFUNIT NAMELIFEUNITSUNIT FIRST COSTUNIT INSTALLATIONCOSTUNIT ANNUALMAINT COSTis the U-name of the component.multiplies all costs.Defaults to 1.0 if not specified.is the name assigned to the unit (such as SQFT or CUFT) bythe user to identify the size of the unit.
