Construction Cost

Depending on the Cost model selected on the Building Cost Summary dialog, the construction cost report will be generated and displayed using one of 3 formats:

• 1-Basic, a simple report including building only construction costs.
• 2-UNIFORMAT II, a summary report based on standard ASTM UNIFORMAT II conventions.
• 3-NRM1, a summary report based on standard RICS NRM1 conventions.

The outputs of the Cost calculation can be included automatically within the Construction cost data to be fed to EnergyPlus for LCC economic analysis and in optimisation simulations.

Note: Construction cost calculations for models where the zone multiplier is used are not always 100% accurate because the construction cost of internal surfaces between multiplied zones and adiabatic component blocks can be over-estimated.
