RE: Budget costs/ton for new and renovated HVAC systems in schools
I Checked My RSMeans SF Costs 2005...
Schools and Colleges seems to average about $10/sf for HVAC
Looks like they are basing their numbers on 260sf/Ton
Hence a 10,000 sf system would cost $100,000 based on 260sf/Ton. This would be approx. $2600/Ton
Figuring your system would be designed based on 225sf/Ton I would extrapolate 260/225 = 1.15. This would give you $2,990/Ton.
Adjusting for 2009 costs assuming 3% per year gives 1.03^4=1.12. However, regional factors for Texas appear to have a cost multiplyer of 0.70 to 0.80. (Basically a wash)
Hence, I would say use $3000/Ton for a Single Zone System. And use $4,500/Ton for a Multizone System.
Does anyone have any better numbers.

That get's you chillers, pumps, cooling towers, controls, all of the interconnecting piping, between these items, enclosure etc.
Doesn't cover air handlers or piping inside the school, piping to and from the chilled water plant.
