Design Analysis and Optimization using CFD has the following advantages in terms of initial and running costs savings:

• Improving energy efficiency means less running cost.
• Value engineering of systems designed and Optimization of Equipment selection translates into less initial capital expenditure.

By performing computer simulations for temperature gradients of an air conditioning system under design for example, over cooled areas can be identified and equipment selection can be optimized in a way to reduce both initial and running costs. 

Airflow patterns in a building can be simulated at the conceptual stage and optimization changes can be made to the conceptual design before progressing to subsequent phases, saving time and money.
