Life-Cycle Cost Models for Green Buildings: With Optimal Green Star
Credits illustrates the tools and methods for developing a
life-cycle cost model that incorporates developer constraints while
maximizing the number of credit points achieved. The book
identifies the interdependencies among various credits in the Green
Star environmental rating system. Afterwards, life-cycle cost is
calculated by considering six main central business districts
(CBDs) of Australia. The net present value (NPV) technique is used
to calculate life-cycle costs. Further, a sensitivity analysis is
also carried out for selected credits to identify the changes to
life-cycle cost to the changes in discount rate. Once all the
life-cycle cost data is calculated, this book illustrates the
development of the proposed model using a Java application which
allows users to evaluate each key criterion of green buildings
separately. The book is designed to provide ample knowledge of the
various options available to get green building certification and
the further implications in-terms of life-cycle.
