ESTIMATING BENCHMARKSMETHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING AREASThe rules for measurement of building areas aredefined by the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyorsand the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.The definitions are as follows:Unit of measurement: square metres (m 2 )GROSS FLOOR AREA (G.F.A.)The sum of the “Fully Enclosed Covered Area” and“Unenclosed Covered Area” as defined.FULLY ENCLOSED COVERED AREA (F.E.C.A.)The sum of all such areas at all building floor levels,including basements (except unexcavated portions),floored roof spaces and attics, garages, penthouses,enclosed porches and attached enclosed coveredways alongside buildings, equipment rooms, lift shafts,vertical ducts, staircases and any other fully enclosedspaces and usable areas of the building, computed bymeasuring from the normal inside face of exterior wallsbut ignoring any projections such as plinths, columns,piers and the like which project from the normal insideface of exterior walls. It shall not include open courts,lightwells, connecting or isolated covered ways andnet open areas or upper portions of rooms, lobbies,halls, interstitial spaces and the like which extendthrough the storey being computed.UNENCLOSED COVERED AREA (U.C.A.)The sum of all such areas at all building floor levels,including roofed balconies, open verandahs, porchesand porticos, attached open covered ways alongsidebuildings, undercrofts and usable space underbuildings, unenclosed access galleries (includingground floor) and any other trafficable covered areasof the building which are not totally enclosed by fullheight walls, computed by measuring the area betweenthe enclosing walls or balustrade (i.e. from the insideface of the U.C.A. excluding the wall or balustradethickness). When the covering element (i.e. roof orupper floor) is supported by columns, is cantileveredor is suspended, or any combination of these, themeasurements shall be taken to the edge of the pavingor to the edge of the cover, whichever is the lesser.U.C.A. shall not include eaves overhangs, sun shading,awnings and the like where these do not relate to theclearly definded trafficable areas, nor shall it includeconnecting or isolated covered ways.© <strong>Rider</strong> <strong>Levett</strong> <strong>Bucknall</strong> 2013 63

SUSTAINABILITY AND LIFE-CYCLE COSTINGSUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITYSustainability is concerned with improving the quality of lifewhile living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems.In planning, delivering and managing our BuiltEnvironment we must recognise the needs for balancebetween environmental, economic and social factors.How to provide for a more productive and sustainable BuiltEnvironment for all is best considered in collaboration withall the stakeholders, including owners, managers andtenants. This process should include not only the review ofsustainability objectives and initiatives, but addressfunctional requirements and whole of life costings alongwith the implementation of facilities managementstrategies.A number of rating systems have been developed to assistwith benchmarking and decision making, these include:Green Star – Green Building Council of Australia’s six starenvironmental rating system that evaluates the design andconstruction of buildings in terms of energy and waterefficiency, indoor environmental quality and resourceconservation. New for 2011 was the Green Star –Performance designed to assess the operationalperformance of existing buildings.National Australian Built Environment Rating System(NABERS) – a national programme managed by the NSWDepartment of Environment, Climate Change & Water,which is a performance-based rating system for existingbuildings, designed to measure operational impacts onthe environment. In 2011 NABERS was extended to a sixstars scale. Additionally, a NABERS Energy rating is amandatory reporting requirement under CommercialBuilding Disclosure (CBD) – a national program designedto improve the energy efficiency of Australia’s large officebuildings.<strong>Rider</strong> <strong>Levett</strong> <strong>Bucknall</strong> have staff accredited in the use andoperation of these applications, along with LEED, BREEAM,GreenMark and others internationally.PCA’s Quality Guide – Property Council of Australia(PCA) has updated its “A Guide to Office Building Quality”(2006), with separate matrices for new and existing officebuildings, included environmental criteria as a determinantof quality. The 2nd edition Guide is due to take effect on1 January 2012 and will have expanded environmentalperformance criteria for Energy, Water, Waste and IndoorEnvironment for both new and existing office buildings.Additionally, the Building Management criteria have beenexpanded to include Level of Service, Energy and WaterSub-metering and Life Cycle / Maintenance Planrequirements.68 © <strong>Rider</strong> <strong>Levett</strong> <strong>Bucknall</strong> 2013


SUSTAINABILITY AND LIFE-CYCLE COSTINGOBSOLESCENCE AND LIFE CYCLE COSTINGLife cycle studies recognise that every ‘whole’ assetconsists of many component parts each with its ownlife expectancy and interrelationships.The relationship between these parts, their qualityand maintenance, is what physically determines thelife expectancy of the whole asset. However, inaddition to physical obsolescence, actual lifeexpectancy is also dependent on the influence ofother forms of obsolescence (i.e. Economic,Functional, Technology, Social, Legal).It is only in relatively recent times with globalchallenges such as climate change and the financialcrisis, that serious attention has been paid to thequestions of the impact that our industry has on thenatural environment and the use of scarceresources.Many projects remain driven primarily by their capitalbudgets, with scant regard for striking a balancebetween capital cost and long-term operating andmaintenance costs. This approach will not lead tosustainable outcomes, environmentally oreconomically. The whole of life issues must be a vitalconsideration, particularly when public funds arebeing invested by government or throughsuperannuation funds. Further, beyond the physicallife cycle, consideration should also be given to thelife cycle impact and potential of economic,functional, technological, legal and socialobsolescence.Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) provide solutions to integrate key performanceindicators across property’s growing focus on TripleBottom Line reporting.© <strong>Rider</strong> <strong>Levett</strong> <strong>Bucknall</strong> 2013 69

Forbuildings the WASL is the collective result of applyingservice life criteria to each element of a cost analysis;excluding capital recurrent expenditure other thanroutine maintenance.RelifingRelifing takes the “WASL” a stage further by consideringthe effect of capital upgrades, refurbishments,replacement of plant, architectural fabric and finishes.Below is a graphical representation of a Relifing profile fora typical office building, compared to the base WASL.WASL4035302520151050RELIFINGWASLWASL and Relifing analysis is useful for developers,owners and occupiers in financial planning, calculatingdepreciation and in the negotiation of long term propertyholding costs.70 © <strong>Rider</strong> <strong>Levett</strong> <strong>Bucknall</strong> 2013


SUSTAINABILITY AND LIFE-CYCLE COSTINGOUTGOINGSOutgoings are the costs required to operate a propertythat are generally recoverable by a Landlord from thetenants. The recovery of outgoings is usually calculatedby a sharing of costs amongst tenants relative to theirleasehold interest. They generally cover the recurrentcosts for the delivery of services, maintenance, powerand statutory and management costs.The level of recovery of outgoings is normallygoverned and regulated by leases and otheragreements with tenants.The cost of outgoings varies depending upon:• the level of management and services provided• lease agreements• quality, type and efficiency of the building• location and statutory regimes applicableThe following provides a sample range of cost to beexpected for various typical property classifications.Useful Resources:“An Operational Guide To Sustainable FacilitiesManagement” (2010) FMA Australia – a practicaldocument that provides technical guidance inachieving a more sustainable FM approach in theAustralian context; covering policy and legislationissues, implementing sustainability, energy efficiency,water management, waste management, indoorenvironment quality (IEQ), monitoring and reporting,procurement and knowledge transfer.Internationally, the IFMA Foundation, a non-profit bodycommitted to expanding our knowledge of the BuiltEnvironment in a changing world through scholarships,education and research, has since 2009 produced the“Sustainability How To Guides” series.
