Whole Life PerformanceCommon knowledge to facilities managers but unbeknown to many owners, is that the ratio of construction to operating costs of a building asset can be as high as 1 to 10. Clearly, significant cost savings can be made through taking a long term and holistic view of building performance. Dytecna provide accurate forecasts of all cost types occurring throughout the entire life cycle of a building asset. We go beyond providing cost forecasts for a given building or system configurations, instead we provide our clients with optimised designs through option appraisal, trade-off analysis and the assessment of a variety of design alternatives. This provides our clients with a range of cost savings from: We have developed a comprehensive and integrated approach to Whole Life Performance in partnership with industry and academia that can be tailored to the specific requirements of our clients. Features of our analysis may include reliability engineering, thermal modeling, financial analysis, net present value approximation and disposal costing. What is Whole Life Performance (WLP)? Whole Life Performance analysis optimises the performance of assets from cradle to grave by optimising value through life by comparing the Whole Life Cost implications of design choices and management strategies. What is Whole Life Costing? Whole Life Costing (WLC) is a technique that provides a financial value for a building over its entire lifetime. It follows a systematic approach whereby all the costs occurring during the life of the building are forecast. Dytecna WLC cost product aims to trade-off the capital expenditure against the revenue costs of a building asset with a view to proposing design recommendations that would provide net cost savings over the long term. Why Perform WLP Analysis? The implementation of WLP analysis in construction procurement has become best practice in following several studies that aimed at increasing the efficiency of the UK construction industry. |
