Optimize Your VRF System Planning with Our Comprehensive Cost Tracking Spreadsheet. When designing or budgeting for Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, accuracy and efficiency are critical. Whether you’re an engineer, contractor, or project manager, juggling costs, engineering metrics, and sales pricing can be a daunting task. That’s why we’ve created the ultimate Excel Spreadsheet designed specifically to streamline the process, providing you with an indispensable tool for estimating and tracking VRF system costs and engineering metrics for VRF Heat Pump and Heat Recovery systems.
What Does the Spreadsheet Offer?
Our VRF System Cost Tracking Spreadsheet is a powerful tool that provides an all-encompassing approach to analyzing and budgeting for your VRF projects. Here’s what it includes:
1. Comprehensive Cost Metrics
- Cost per Ton: Know the total cost of your system based on the refrigeration capacity per system type. (VRF Heat Pump vs Heat Recovery)
- Cost per Square Foot: Quickly estimate the cost for projects of varying sizes, tailored to your specific building area. Just enter the square feet of your proposed building and the historical average cost per FT2.
2. Engineering Metrics
- Square Feet per Ton: Optimize your system design by ensuring proper capacity allocation based on building requirements. Track all your VRF system designs and quickly see the engineering metrics such as square feet per Ton.
3. Detailed Cost Breakdown
- Piping Costs:
- Calculate costs based on linear footage and total square footage.
- Sheet Metal Costs:
- Track ductwork expenses accurately to prevent budget overruns.
- Other Related Costs:
- Incorporate ancillary expenses such as labor, insulation, and controls.
Budgeting and Pricing Made Simple
The spreadsheet also includes two quick calculators designed to simplify the sales pricing process:
1. Cost per Square Foot Calculator
Input the square footage of a proposed building, and the spreadsheet instantly generates a sales price based on your pre-set cost per square foot. This feature is perfect for preliminary estimates during early project discussions.
2. Cost per Ton Calculator
Enter the required tonnage of refrigeration, and the spreadsheet provides a sales price based on your chosen cost per ton. Ideal for HVAC professionals who need fast, reliable pricing at a moment’s notice.
