FAQ

Questions Value Engineering Comparator owners ask.

  • 01

    What is Life Cycle Cost (LCC)?

    LCC represents the total economic commitment required for a construction solution, including both upfront capital expenditure and all maintenance costs throughout its useful life.

  • 02

    How do I use the SIR calculation?

    Use calculate_investment_efficiency by providing the total savings and the initial cost delta to find out how much is saved for every dollar of extra investment.

  • 03

    Can I compare two different materials?

    Yes, by calculating the LCC for both materials using compute_total_lcc and then comparing them with calculate_net_savings.
