Ceramsite Panel long term cost calculation clearly shows that this material brings far better economic benefits than traditional partition wall materials throughout the whole building life cycle. Although the initial material purchase cost of Ceramsite Panel may be slightly higher than ordinary gypsum board the total installation labor cost is much lower because of its extremely fast construction speed. During the building operation stage the almost zero maintenance requirement of Ceramsite Panel eliminates all the periodic wall repair and replacement costs that are necessary for other lightweight partition materials. The excellent thermal insulation performance of the panel also continuously reduces the building’s annual heating and cooling energy cost for more than 50 years. Independent financial analysis shows that the total 50 year life cycle cost of Ceramsite Panel partition system is less than 40 percent of the total life cycle cost of using traditional brick wall system for the same commercial building project.
