Life-Cycle Costing Guide for Energy Conservation in Buildings
Architects, engineers, building operators and owners, and others who make decisions about the design and use of buildings need cost information about alternative energy conservation designs for old and new buildings. Specifically, they need to know the cost over time from introducing energy conserving techniques as compared to the cost savings over time from reduced energy bills. Life-cycle costing of energy conservation alternatives in buildings can be applied at the working level to reduce the owning and operating costs of buildings, to reduce energy consumption, and to encourage the optimal retrofit of old and design of new buildings with respect to rising fuel costs. This article provides practicing architects, architectural students, and others interested in the design process an overview of state-of-the-art methods for estimating the life-cycle cost (LCC) of alternative energy conservation techniques and a description of selected applications of LCC methods to energy conservation in buildings. Retrofitting existing residential buildings for energy conservation is examined in LCC terms. The design of envelope features and subsystems for energy conservation in new buildings is explored in the context of LCC analysis. Finally, energy standards for buildings are examined in the LCC context to show why varying climates and fuel prices must be considered in developing economically efficient standards.
