CISCA STUDY SHOWS ENERGY SAVINGS FOR CONTINUOUS CEILINGS

New research from CISCA reveals that suspended ceilings can significantly reduce a building's lifetime operating costs through energy and maintenance savings. Our report, "Life Cycle Study: Suspended Ceilings vs. Open Plenum" shows that even though suspended ceilings cost more initially, they can achieve a life-cycle payback in less than 11 months over open-plenum (exposed) designs, depending upon the building type and the region. Suspended ceilings were shown to lower energy costs by 9% to 17%.

The CISCA Life Cycle Study is modeled on two different building types (office and retail) in five different markets, reflecting differences in energy costs, construction/installation costs and climate zones.  Markets included Charlotte, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Orlando and Phoenix.
