Eco‐cost Associated with Tall Buildings
This chapter examines the eco‐costs/value ratio (EVR) concept and a tool based on life cycle analysis (LCA) from production, operating and end‐of‐life phases to evaluate the ecological impact of alternative design interventions. A brief overview of the Dutch housing market heavily influenced by the subprime and Euro crisis and the role of land use in the development of tall buildings in the Netherlands is provided. Based on practical experience in several redevelopment and renovation projects, the applicability of the eco‐cost model is tested in a complex of approximately 200 apartments. Three cases of tall buildings are also measured according to the EVR system and tested against four environmental ranking methods. The need for embedding EVR in other sustainable ranking is also discussed. The chapter concludes with the major challenges to overcome in the EVR method such as lack of standardisation and practical data to make the eco‐cost model fully operational.
