LCC in air purification

The questions above are about essential functionality and capacity, which is critical to evaluate different proposals. Once you have achieved this level of basic facts in your procurement, you can move on to a more professional level – a simple and complete LCC analysis.

When it comes to the life cycle cost of air purification specifically, there are four particular areas that you should scrutinize closely:

• The investment cost – the price of the air purifiers is a given sub-component when you assess a whole life cycle cost. But with lifespans of ten years or more, it does not have as decisive a role as you might initially think.
• Energy costs – even before today’s sky-high energy prices, it could amount to a difference of hundreds of dollars or euros per month when operating more comprehensive solutions for air purification. There are many examples where the first year’s energy cost is more than the purchase itself. How many kW is needed to efficiently power your alternative solutions per hour, day and year?
• Filter costs – many players in the market seem to be in the filter business rather than the air purification business. How often do you need to change the filters to achieve adequate air purification? What does the gradual decline in effectiveness look like after X number of weeks of use? This repeated cost depends on how often you need to change the filter, e.g., every six weeks or every nine months.
• Service costs – how often do you need to order professional service and maintenance for the air to be cleaned to the desired level? Are there parts you can take care of yourself instead of bringing in outside service people?

As always, ask questions and take references. You can also easily download this calculation template to evaluate different solutions.
