Where are the costs associated with a Control System installation
Historical Costs– Hardware - 45%
– Labor Hours - 25%• System Design• Programming• Testing Check-out
and commissioning
– Electrical Installation Labor – 30%
Today’s Cost– Hardware - 25%
– Labor Hours - 30%• System Design• Programming• Testing Check-out
and commissioning
– Electrical Installation Labor – 45%
Technology Improvements have driven the hardware costs of a control system down, while the cost of Labor has increased.

Control Industry Challenges Related to Energy Optimization
Need for additional instrumentation drives up the cost of a control system
– Drives up hardware costs
Each added sensor or controlled device requires additional labor
– Electrical installation
– Field Check-out and Commissioning
Business decisions are driven by a cost benefit analysis. Added Control System Cost
Annual Energy Saved= Acceptable Payback
