What does the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) spreadsheet do?
The LCC spreadsheet (currently LCC_v2.XLS) calculates the life-cycle costs and payback periods of four ballast types: 2-lamp F40T12/ES, 1-lamp F40T12/ES, 2-lamp F96T12/ES and 2- lamp F96T12HO/ES. (press here to download Excel version of the Spreadsheet). You will need to review some reports to get a sense of the data and its manipulations.
