Big Green: Gyp Brd walls vs Demountable - ROI

[Charles Brown]

I want to say I read one from SMED 5 years ago +/- (now part of Haworth).
Though intermingled with under floor air distribution the issue was also
addressed in a CD Tate Flooring sent around. You might could interpolate
from that study. Obviously both are bound to be a little bias to their
product, but I remember the Tate formula to be pretty reasonable.  It all
comes down to rate of churn and depreciation of demountables, and you¹re
going to be dependant on the owner¹s best guess for that.

Subject: Big Green: Gyp Brd walls vs Demountable - ROI

Is anyone aware of any white paper, study, software to assist in evaluating
Gyp Brd walls Vs. Demountable partitions design layout based on multiple
variables including churn, LCA, etc?
