Life Cycle Costing: Practice V Theory, Tomek Paszkiewicz, Craig Langston
Life Cycle Costing: Practice V Theory, Tomek Paszkiewicz, Craig Langston
Craig Langston
Numerous studies have already been conducted in the area of life-cycle costing (LCC), however few studies have been conducted into resolving its lack of utilisation in practice. This paper sets out known barriers and limitations and provides some advice for how education can play a role in developing future perceptions, and hence assist in bridging the gap between practice and theory. LCC is sometimes undertaken on projects of a build, own and occupy nature where it is in the client's best interest to conduct such an exercise and where taxpayers' monies are involved, however projects which are of a build …
Comparisons Of Building Energy And Cost Equivalence: An Analysis Of Thirty Melbourne Case Studies, Yu Langston, Craig Langston
Comparisons Of Building Energy And Cost Equivalence: An Analysis Of Thirty Melbourne Case Studies, Yu Langston, Craig Langston
Craig Langston
This study investigates the energy and cost performance of 30 recent buildings in Melbourne, Australia. Commonly, building design decisions are based on issues pertaining to construction cost, and consideration of energy performance is made only within the context of the initial project budget. Even where energy is elevated to more importance, operating energy is seen as the focus and embodied energy is nearly always ignored. For the first time, a large sample of buildings has been assembled and analyzed to improve the understanding of both energy and cost performance over their full life cycle. The data was obtained from capital …
