Engineering Economic Analysis (EEA)
Compare lifecycle economics of HVAC designs
Carrier’s Engineering Economic Analysis (EEA) program provides four distinct types of economic studies, seamlessly integrated into a single, user-friendly package. These studies are designed to evaluate the lifecycle economics of HVAC system designs and other applications, offering tailored insights for both private and public sector decision-making.
Analysis Types
Private Sector Lifecycle Analysis
This analysis compares the lifecycle economics of design alternatives for private firms, focusing on profit maximization. Alternatives are evaluated based on internal rate of return (IRR), net present worth savings, total present worth and payback period.
Public Sector Lifecycle Analysis
Designed for government and non-profit organizations, this study emphasizes cost-effectiveness. Alternatives are rated using savings to investment ratio (SIR), total present worth and payback period.
Simple Payback Analysis
This quick analysis compares investment and operating costs of design alternatives to determine the payback period, ideal for simple cost studies.
Simple Cash Flow Analysis
Generates cash flow tables for each design alternative, projecting costs over time and calculating total present worth for long-term planning.
