Carrier TDP-903 LIFE CYCLE COSTING FOR HVAC SYSTEMS
TDP-903 LIFE CYCLE COSTING FOR HVAC SYSTEMS are modules of technical training on HVAC theory, system design, equipment selection and application topics. Targeting the engineers and designers who wish to develop their knowledge in this field to effectively design, specify, sell or apply HVAC equipment in commercial applications.
The modules within each group begin at an introductory level and progress to advanced levels. The breadth of this offering allows for customization into a complete HVAC curriculum – from a complete HVAC design course at an introductory-level or to an advanced level design course. Advanced-level modules assume prerequisite knowledge and do not review basic concepts.

Decisions about the type of HVAC system or decisions related to making HVAC system modifications are based on financial justification. The federal government, sustainable design projects and many other entities require that these decisions be based on the total life cycle costs rather than first cost alone. The commonly used life cycle costing method helps determine the total life cycle financial impact. This training module discusses the life cycle costing method and how it should be applied to HVAC-related decisions. Six sections describe the basic concepts behind the life cycle cost method, a recommended procedure to follow, what data should be included, where to find the data and several techniques to be used in evaluating the data and making a decision.
