Abstract:

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) method can not only help users make economic decisions on a construction project, but also have a positive effect on popularizing building energy-saving technologies and reducing building energy consumption. However, LCC has not received due attention in China. This paper analyzes the main obstacles to popularizing LCC in China and explores the solving strategies of promoting LCC in China by means of the functional process theoretical model.
