CCF is the condition code factor

CRV is the replacement cost of the facility

n = the number of facilities in the real property database

Condition Code 18

5

Excellent; no work required.

4

Good; less than 10 percent of components need repair.

3

Fair; more than 30 percent of components need repair.

2

Poor; greater than 30 percent of components need repair.

1

Unserviceable; failed system overall.

System Weights 19

40% Structural

30% Mechanical

30% Electrical

The condition code factor is assumed to be a decaying exponential function as the cost to repair increases dramatically with deteriorating condition:

CCF = k1e { [k2 (1 − NCC)]}

Where: k1, k2 = constants, assumed to be 1; exp = “e” or 2.718.

and

NCC= Net Condition Code (sum of condition codes times system weights for each sample facility averaged for sample size)

Sample Calculation

Parameters: Assume an inventory of 100 facilities, $100M total current replacement value, and a 1 building sample.

Mechanical assessment: Failing heating units, aging unreliable chillers. Condition Code = 3

Electrical assessment: 2 systems need replacement. Condition Code = 4

Net Condition Code (NCC)=((3 × 0.4)+(4 × 0.3)+(3 × 0.3))/1=3.3

CCF=exp(1-3.3)=0.10 (10%)

Where: k1, k2 are assumed 1 for this example

BMAR=($100M)(0.10)=$10M
