The uncertain role of life cycle costing in the renewable energy debate

E.F. Finch

Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 5, 1436-1443

Abstract: In a decade when environmental issues have become prominent, the significance of ‘aftercare’ has struck a chord with many stake holders in the building process. None more so than clients who are mindful of inheriting a building that will incur costs long after hand-over. Energy saving has served the interest of the client as well as the global concerns of society at large. Cost savings provide a strong incentive and may not conflict with environmental objectives.
