dc.descriptionIn a recent paper (Kishk et al., 2003), existing applications that provide whole-life costing (WLC) support have been reviewed. This review revealed that these applications vary from free simple spreadsheet models to sophisticated, commercial stand-alone applications. Besides, three main categories can be identified. In the first category, the application is used only as a financial tool to calculate the whole-life cost of a single alternative. Obviously, the usefulness of this category is limited.
dc.description.abstractKey activities of the implementation of whole-life costing (WLC) as a management tool during the occupancy stage are outlined. Then, the logic of a novel whole-life management approach is designed around two recently developed generic WLC databases. The proposed approach allows the systematic data collection of the running costs of occupied buildings and provides the necessary link between occupied buildings and the design process. Besides, it employs a generic cost-significant relation that automatically identifies the cost-significance of the building components on the elements, activities and cost items levels over the analysis period. Keywords: Cost significance, Whole life costing, Whole life management
