Results (continued)
The results constituted an overview of individual cost
components’ contributions to annual costs, and their
apportionment with regard to responsibility and cost. This
apportionment is in accordance with Statsbygg’s standard lease.
A similar overview, calculated on a square metre basis,
accompanies the first results. Further on there are sheets showing
the detailed calculation.
Management costs include property tax, water and sewer fees,
refuse collection and disposal, insurance and administration.
Energy use and cost is a main focus. Energy for heating
(building, ventilation and hot water) is supplied by district
heating. Electricity is assumed for all other purposes. The energy
price was based on existing contracts (in accordance with the
owner). These prices were quite low, and a sensitivity analysis
was recommended for further work.
Conclusions and benefits
The main conclusion from the LCC analysis
recommended a stronger focus on energy
use. The architectural and technical design
at the pre-project phase would give higher
energy use than best practise and in
comparison to the new regulations on
energy use in buildings.
Due to costs and progress of the project, the
conclusions of the analysis was only partly
taken into action.
