[Bldg-sim] O&M costs (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Jorge Torres-Coto]

You might look at RS Means:
*	Life Cycle Costing for Facilities
*	Facilities Maintenance & Repair Cost Data
*	Facilities Cost Data
I do not personally have any of these, but I think they may have the
information you may need.

They also offer data online if you do not want to buy the book, they have a
free trial period.

I was asked to complete a life cycle cost analysis comparing a
boiler/chiller
system vs a geothermal system with a water to water heat pump.  I have all
the factors I need except the illusive O&M costs. (I have fuel cost,
installation cost, equipment cost....)

What I have done at this point is to contact the company which will actually
be doing the O&M.  (I went straight to the horse's mouth) but the campus
only
has 1 building with a geo-thermal system and it is only 1 year old.  I think
if I can get a ratio comparing the O&M costs of a boiler/chiller vs
geothermal, I'd be done.  

Something as simple as "A geothermal system on average costs x% less in O&M
costs compared to a boiler/chiller system...." and somebody to site as to
the
value of 'x'.
