Life Cycle Cost Savings

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) aims to quantify the financial impact of a product over its entire life cycle to assist consumers in making decisions that will save them money over the long term.

GSA's Proving Ground found that installing wireless pneumatic thermostats (WPTs) added to conventional thermostat systems can pay back in 2-6 years. WPTs give conventional pneumatic controls the energy-conserving functionality of more contemporary control systems, such as direct digital controls (DDC), but at a fraction of the cost.
