NIST has their Life Cycle Analysis software, and ASHRAE has an analysis in the Handbook under the Owning and Operating chapter of Applications the ESL has a spreadsheet that contains the ASHRAE eqs. 

The hard part is simulating it accurately, which includes the airflow, comfort and improved IAQ. Harder still is the cost savings from energy, maintenance, IAQ, etc. over the ststem life.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Underfloor Plenum First Costs Analysis

Hello,
Does anyone know how to perform a first cost analysis
for underfloor air plenums. I have seen something from
Center of Built environment and they have mentioned a
spreadsheet that does this life cycle cost analysis
but nothing more than that. Could anyone suggest me a
current method of performing this analysis or if there
is any guideline or tool out there that could help me
through this process.
Thanks,
Gerald
