Prediction and optimization of life-cycle costs in early design
Abstract
Operation costs over the life-cycle of a building are a multiple of the initial construction costs. Decisions in the programming stage (briefing) and design process influence life-cycle costs in terms of space, the quantity of structural elements, technical/mechanical service equipment and the choice of materials. The way that the economic and ecological goals are set will influence the efficiency and effectiveness through an appropriate design. To realize the requirements of sustainable building in daily administrative practice, characteristic values for specific building tasks are needed which are determined through the analysis of completed buildings. The resulting target values enable architects and engineers to get a clear and consistent definition of project goals at the programming stage. An interdisciplinary team is needed to manage and guarantee these target values during the whole design process and at the beginning of the utilization phase. Les coûts d'exploitation générés tout au long de la durée de vie d'un bâtiment sont un multiple des coûts de construction initiaux. Les décisions prises à l'étape de programmation (briefing) et lors du processus de conception influent sur les coûts du cycle de vie en termes d'espace, de quantité d'éléments structurels, d'équipements d'entretien technique/mécanique et de choix des matériaux. La définition des objectifs économiques et écologiques, dans le cadre d'une conception appropriée, influe sur le rendement et l'efficacité. Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de construction durable dans la pratique administrative quotidienne, il est nécessaire de déterminer des valeurs caractéristiques pour des tâches de construction spécifiques grâce à l'analyse de l'ensemble des bâtiments. Les valeurs ciblées résultantes permettent aux architectes et aux ingénieurs d'obtenir une définition claire et cohérent des objectifs du projet, dès la phase de programmation. Une équipe interdisciplinaire est requise pour gérer et garantir le respect de ces valeurs ciblées tout au long du processus de conception et au début de la phase d'utilisation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
