Life cycle costings
- in building terms, these are the costs involved in owning and using a building
over a predicted life span. A true life cycle analysis, will include - initial cost; maintenance costs;
energy costs; cleaning costs; overhead and management costs; utilisation costs; resale value. On
longer predicted lifespans, traditional building materials usually prove to be extremely good value.
