Seminar 60 -- Putting Life Into Life Cycle Cost Analysis: Real World Costs Commonly Overlooked

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Life Cycle Cost Analysis is routinely used to evaluate engineering alternatives. Proper analysis requires understanding Life Cycle Cost principles and must include all potential costs, not just first cost and energy costs. This seminar will provide an update on life cycle cost techniques, provide real world examples of overlooked costs that can dramatically alter the results, and the impact of COVID-19 building modifications on original life cycle cost analyses.
