A brief description of the LCCA policy(ies) and practice(s):
When making design recommendations to the College, the design team will use life-cycle costing (LCC) in order to evaluate the full cost of ownership of the design alternatives. The LCC analysis will quantify the 20 year impacts of greenhouse gases, energy costs, and maintenance implications of design options. The scope of LCC will vary from project, but will typically focus on envelope, HVAC, water, electrical or other building systems. This policy and practice is outlined in the College's Green Building Standards document.
Across other operations, LCCA is used, but not mandated by policy. Recently the College has used LCCA to evaluate using hand dryers instead of paper towels, or water filtration systems instead of bottled water, but this process has not been formalized across all divisions.
