Increasing numbers of clients are demanding that environmental design is balanced with financial and long-term cost issues, and WLC is a way of finding common currency for making decisions. Whole Life Sustainability shows a number of approaches for doing so, steering clear of number-crunching, and instead using simple 'back-of-the-envelope' techniques, and easy self-assessment tools for the architect to evaluate and understand the whole life of their building.

Presents a different approach to whole-life costing and risk management for construction. This book applies the options-based approach that has revolutionized the management of uncertainty in the business world. It is structured around realistic case studies that demonstrate the prevalence of lifecycle options.
