Structured Cabling System

Figure indicates typical costs for building operation and alterations over a 40-year life cycle far exceed the initial construction costs. Proper systemsintegration planning to optimize the construction process can reduce these ongoing life cycle costs.Providing am internationally stadradized SCS and consolidating cable-delivery methods for all the systems can reduce intial construction costs for the cabiling infrastructure of a modern intelligent building by up to 30 percent.The actual level of savings achieved depends upon the configuration and geographical pricing for material and labour. This also gives the structure an inherent ability to respond quickly and cost-effectively to the changing needs of tenants, which impacts the cost to occupy the space. In some cases, additional construction expenditures for the SCS or BMS, such as devices to optimize the use of power consumption, may be necesary to reduce the operational expenses. However, the costs for cabiing-related changes can typically be reduced by 25 to 40 percent- with possible savings of up to 60 percent- for a new or renovated facility when using a total systems integration approach.
