Life-Cycle Perspective for Buildings: Is it Possible?
The life-cycle philosophy has recently garnered favor in the realm of bridges and other public transportation infrastructure, where maintenance is already acknowledged as a major element of cost of operation, and where the federal mandate for a comprehensive bridge maintenance policy has led to the development of Bridge and Pontis. Application of life-cycle concepts to buildings invokes additional considerations that must be addressed before the concept will be widely adopted, such as the fact that maintenance of the structure itself is usually a much smaller cost factor than in bridges, and most buildings are constructed with private sector funding, in which the advantage of lower life-cycle costs as a tradeoff to initial cost is not clear. An additional factor arises because the public takes building performance for granted, spending more time in buildings than on bridges and associating them with the vitality of their community. Therefore, issues of risk and risk perception, sustainability of individual buildings and its implication for community economic well-being, and non-economic issues such as ecology, beauty and pride become important.
