Abstract EN
This paper presents a comparative study of “life cycle cost” or LCC of a building school rooftop element in Jakarta.
The simulation applied two different types of roof: a concrete roof and a PV rooftop.
The aim of this study is to investigate the electricity production of the solar panels, the saving to investment ratio or SIR, and the total life cycle cost of each rooftop element.
To accommodate those objectives, the calculation utilized a software called “Building Life Cycle Cost (BLCC) version 5” which is a product of the US Department of Energy.
The simulation results showed that the LCC can be improved by 27.6%, and the “discounted payback” is reached at year 15.
Indeed, this indicates that a roof made of solar panels is promising to replace the existing concrete roof.
