DEEP – Dissemination of Energy Efficiency Measures in the Public Building Sector (EC DG TREN, ) What is Life Cycle Costing? Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is a methodology that enables you to incorporate costs and benefits that occur over the lifetime of a product into your procurement decisions – rather than considering the initial capital cost of a product only. Costs and benefits – e.g. energy consumption, replacement of equipment or parts, consumables and disposal – they all affect the ultimate price, yet are rarely considered when selecting a product!

DEEP – Dissemination of Energy Efficiency Measures in the Public Building Sector (EC DG TREN, ) Why should my Local Authority use it? There are many benefits for Local Authorities in using Life Cycle Costing on a systematic basis: It can save you money It can reduce the time and effort involved in frequently replacing equipment It supports the purchase of better quality equipment It encourages more logical decision-making It supports local sustainable development In summary, life cycle costing supports your responsibility to the community to use public funds wisely and sustainably The DEEP Toolkit.

DEEP – Dissemination of Energy Efficiency Measures in the Public Building Sector (EC DG TREN, ) How can my Local Authority use Life Cycle Costing? Identify types of procurement for which LCC is appropriate (e.g. buildings, energy and water using equipment). Identify staff responsible for procurement of equipment where LCC can be applied. Incorporate a requirement for LCC into your procurement policy – so that it becomes a systematic part of the procurement process. Provide training in use and benefits of Life Cycle Costing. Gain experience in using LCC, and adapt it for your needs. The DEEP Toolkit. TOOL 2.c. Life Cycle Costing Guide for Senior LA Staff

Limitations LCCA only takes account of the costs and benefits that accrue during Your ownership of the equipment, unlike Whole Life Costing / Life Cycle Impact Assessment in which the social and economic benefits related to its entire life-time are considered, e.g. Source: Typical coverage of life-cycle cost analysis The DEEP Toolkit.
