Frequently asked questions

How does Optima calculate the payback period?
Optima compares the total cost of your existing equipment against the replacement option, including energy consumption, maintenance, and operating costs. It calculates annual savings, then divides the investment cost by annual savings to determine the payback period. All calculations use real weather data and actual energy tariffs for maximum accuracy.
What types of HVAC equipment can Optima analyze?
Optima supports conventional heating and cooling systems, heat pumps, dual-energy systems, and rooftop units. You can compare any existing equipment against one or multiple replacement scenarios to find the best financial outcome for your client.
How accurate are the energy savings and payback calculations?
Optima uses hourly weather data for any location worldwide and actual energy tariffs from your utility bills. This means calculations are based on real operating conditions rather than generic averages, giving your clients much more reliable estimates for investment decisions.
Can Optima compare heat pumps vs conventional gas systems?
Yes. Heat pump vs gas comparison is one of Optima's core use cases. The platform calculates the full financial picture (energy costs, savings, payback period, and CO₂ reduction) so your client sees exactly when the heat pump investment pays for itself.
How long does it take to generate a cost-benefit analysis?
A complete analysis takes about 5 minutes, from entering building data to exporting a professional PDF report. That's an 95%+ reduction compared to manual spreadsheet calculations, which typically take hours or days.
Is Optima suitable for commercial and institutional buildings?
Yes. Optima is designed for commercial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings. Engineering firms, building managers, HVAC contractors, and distributors use it to justify equipment upgrades with professional, data-backed reports.
