Heating
1. Determine sizing* for boiler.
2. Enter quantities for all components, paying attention to the units of measure (e.g. linear feet, each, etc). Enter zero for components not used.
3. For piping and insulation, select the proper size and length -- may need some from several different sizes.
4. To delete couplings and hangars, decrease the material and labor unit costs by the percentages shown in the appropriate lines
5. Add in any components not included here, e.g. chimney costs.
6. Use the value in the "Total Cost" box for the estimate.

Sample info: This tab was filled out assuming that the proposed heating sytem is a high-efficiency boiler.
As such, we only calculated the boiler cost here, as all other heating components (piping, insulation, pumps and tanks) stayed the same between the baseline and proposed heating system.
If your project's heating system has other differences between the baseline and proposed heating components, those costs should also be calculated using this tab as well.
For example, if your project uses furnaces, you would want to include the baseline circulating pump, expansion tank, piping and pipe insulation in your baseline cost, as all of these items would
not appear in the proposed design. Then, in the proposed cost, you would want to include the furnaces' cost, as well as any associated costs, such as ductwork and ductwork insulation.

Stud Walls
1. All components have been converted to a per linear foot of wall cost.
2. Choose a Climate Zone from the drop down menu.
3. For the "Total per LF of Wall" row, enter the number of linear feet of wall to be estimated.
4. Use the value in the "Total Cost" box for the estimate.

Sample Info: This tab was filled out for a 5 story building with a rectangular footprint of 120'x100'. Therefore the linear feet of wall is 5 * (120' + 120'
+ 100' +100') = 2200'. 2000' of that 2200' of exterior wall was residential (i.e. walls of apartments) and 200' of exterior wall was non-residential (i.e.
corridors, lobby, offices, etc.). As currently filled out, this gives us the total cost of wall, including studs, insulation, drywall, stucco, and siding.
You can also use this spreadsheet to calculate certain components of the wall only - for example if the only difference between the baseline and
proposed wall is the insulation, you can use the numbers in the bottom part of the table (rows 50-54) to determine the baseline insulation cost per
linear foot, and then multiply by total linear feet to get total cost of the baseline insulation. You would then only include the insulation cost in the
proposed design as well.

Slab-on-Grade
1. Choose Slab Type from the drop down menu.
2. Enter the number of square feet of slab to be priced in the appropriate row, depending on whether rebar or wire mesh will be used as reinforcement.
3. If required by ASHRAE 90.1 or NYSECCC, enter the length of the perimeter of the foundation in row for "perimeter insulation."
4. Use value in "Total Cost" box for estimate.

Sample Info: This tab was filled out for a 5 story building with a rectangular footprint of 120'x100'. Therefore the square footage of slab is (120' x 100') = 12,000 SF; and the linear feet of slab

You can also use this spreadsheet to calculate certain components of the slab only - for example if the only difference between the baseline and proposed slab is the perimeter insulation, you can

Floor
1. All components have been converted to a per square foot of floor cost.
2. Choose a Climate Zone
3. For the "Total per SF of Floor" row, enter the square feet of floor to be estimated.
4. Use the value in the "Total Cost" box for the estimate.

Sample Info: This tab was filled out for a 5 story building with a rectangular footprint of 120'x100'. This building has no floors to include in this tab. The floors to include in this tab are any floors
that make up the exterior but are above-grade. For example, if you have a cantilevered floor on the 2nd story that extends over an outdoor parking space, the square footage of that floor would be
entered in the cell below, broken down by residential (apt) and non-residential (common area). As currently filled out, this gives us the total cost of floor, including joists, subfloor, carpet pad,
carpet, insulation, and joist framing.
You can also use this spreadsheet to calculate certain components of the floor only - for example if the only difference between the baseline and proposed floor is the insulation, you can use the
numbers in the bottom part of the table (rows 44-45) to determine the baseline insulation cost per square foot, and then multiply by total square feet to get total cost of the baseline insulation. You
would then only include the insulation cost in the proposed design as well.

Roof
1. Choose a Climate Zone
2. Enter the total SF of roof needed, (i.e. length * width).
3. Use value in the "Total Cost" box for estimate.

Sample Info: This tab was filled out for a 5 story building with a rectangular footprint of 120'x100' with a flat roof. Therefore the square footage of roof is (120' x 100') = 12,000 SF. As currently filled
out, this gives us the total cost of the roof, including roof deck, insulation, joists, sheathing, sheathing paper, and shingles.
You can also use this spreadsheet to calculate certain components of the roof only - for example if the only difference between the baseline and proposed roof is the insulation, you can use the
numbers in the bottom part of the table (row 36 and 40-41) to determine the baseline insulation cost per square foot, and then multiply by total square feet to get total cost of the baseline insulation.
You would then only include the insulation cost in the proposed design as well.
