Seminar Description

The objective of this workshop is to introduce ASTM and ISO Building Economics Standards and impart the skills necessary to apply the Life Cycle Costing (LCC) methodology to the evaluation and analysis of investments in buildings, specifically in the field of energy efficiency and Green Buildings.

The seminar incorporates three progressive hands-on workshop sessions to gain experience in using the comprehensive Financial Tables provided and applying the LCC technique to the evaluation and analysis of investments in buildings, specifically in the fields of energy efficiency and Green Buildings.  Calculations are simple, only standard calculators are required. 

Seminar Outline:

• ASTM and ISO Building Economics Standards
• Selection of Financial Criteria
• LCC Financial Tables - Present Value Factors (SPV, UPV, SPV*, UPV*) 
• Workshop A: Calculating Present Values 
• Data requirements for calculating Life Cycle Costs
• Workshop B: Calculating Life Cycle Costs  
• Supplementary evaluation measures  (NS, SIR, AIRR, DPB)   
• Workshop C:  Calculating Supplementary Evaluation Measures
• Sources of LCC data and software
• Integrating LCC in the building design process

The following documentation is included in the seminar fee:

• A seminar manual containing all slides, workshop problems and related appendices
• Comprehensive Life Cycle Costing Financial Tables (165p)
• A summary of the NIST/DOE Life Cycle Costing Manual for the Federal Energy Management  Program
• CaGBC and Greg Kats(California) report summaries on the Costs and Financial Benefits of Green Buildings
• Answers to all workshop problems.
