You can set a material and installation cost, demolition cost, and O&M costs. Optionally existing cost objects already associated with building can be deleted. This measure will not affect energy use of the building. In addition to the inputs for the cost values, a number of other inputs are exposed to specify when the cost first occurs and at what frequency it occurs in the future. This measure is intended to be used as an 'Always Run' measure to apply costs to the baseline simulation before any design alternatives manipulate it. For baseline costs, 'Years Until Costs Start' indicates the year that the capital costs first occur. For new construction this will be typically be 0 and 'Demolition Costs Occur During Initial Construction' will be 'false'. For a retrofit 'Years Until Costs Start' is between 0 and the 'Expected Life' of the object, while 'Demolition Costs Occur During Initial Construction' is true. O&M cost and frequency can be whatever is appropriate for the component. construction Choose a Construction to Add Costs to Choice true false remove_costs Remove Existing Costs Boolean true false true true true false false material_cost_ip Material and Installation Costs for Construction per Area Used Double $/ft^2 true false 0 demolition_cost_ip Demolition Costs for Construction per Area Used Double $/ft^2 true false 0 years_until_costs_start Years Until Costs Start Integer whole years true false 0 demo_cost_initial_const Demolition Costs Occur During Initial Construction Boolean true false false true true false false expected_life Expected Life Integer whole years true false 20 om_cost_ip O & M Costs for Construction per Area Used Double $/ft^2 true false 0 om_frequency O & M Frequency Integer whole years true false 1 Economics.Life Cycle Cost Analysis Measure Type ModelMeasure string Measure Function Measure string Requires EnergyPlus Results false boolean Uses SketchUp API false boolean LICENSE.md md license BFFB1AA6 README.md md readme E8C8B150 README.md.erb erb readmeerb 703C9964 OpenStudio 2.0.0 2.0.0 measure.rb rb script C55F964C 0416_NetArea_b.osm osm test 3D3EE8E9 AddCostPerAreaToConstruction_Test.rb rb test 9DF2FFF9
