This course is a must for design and construction teams involved in public works and need to balance costs, materials and construction on sustainable buildings. After taking this course you’ll learn how to use Life Cycle Costing for your buildings.
- Know what to look for to evaluate building scenarios that would suit best in terms of the construction and operating costs
- Understand the concept of net present value and use it in calculations
- Understand the relationship between life cycle costing and life cycle assessment
- Find out what the International Construction Management Standard acronym ACROME stands for
- Know how EU Level[s] framework and LCC work in Green Public ProcurementIn a world with rising energy costs, a building designed with lower operational costs will command greater value.
It is becoming increasingly important that investors and developers use an investment appraisal technique for a ‘whole life’ view to examine how better environmentally performing buildings can be built for a cost that can be justified in commercial terms.
This training consists of 2 pre-recorded introductory videos followed by more detailed discussions from the SCSI Lifecycle Costing Guidance Information Paper and 1 live online session with LCC expert and author of the Information Paper, Dr. Dermot Kehily of TU Dublin.
