http://www.lccmodel.com Life-Cycle Cost Model The basic life-cycle cost models that are available for you to try out on this website are supplemented by an on-line tool which can be accessed via the weblink above. The LCC model incorporates a greater depth and complexity and allows evaluation of projects using a number of economic performance measures. The model facilitates assessment of the financial cost of acquisition, operation and disposal of a building system/component, whole building or multiple buildings by: * Calculating the LCC of an asset/component * Comparison with alternative options * Identification of the key variables in the model and an assessment of what would happen if they were to change (scenario analysis) This model is developed in accordance with the requirements of the UK Treasury Green Book guidelines for Appraisal and Evaluation in Central Government, International Standard ISO15686 on Service Life Planning and guidance from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on life-cycle cost assessment.
