A brief description of the LCCA policy(ies) and practice(s):
All buildings and other projects for the University shall be designed as high quality institutional facilities with components specified to provide maximum life-cycle usefulness. Life cycle costing shall be an integral part of the design process. Most campus buildings are intended to last an indeterminate amount of time, but not less than 50 years, so adaptable facilities and planned maintenance are the norm, rather than short-term solutions.
The University is committed to a resource and energy conservation program based on continual improvement in the design and construction of new buildings and major renovations. Design to minimize life cycle costs, including the use of materials that will maximize durability and longevity. Use resources efficiently by designing buildings that minimize energy and water use and maximize use of natural daylight where appropriate and feasible.
It is the required that all project work where there are Building Systems being impacted, they be designed to the highest efficiency possible. All systems design and equipment selection shall be determined by life cycle cost analysis including first, operating, and maintenance costs.
