  • Abstract:
    Various metrics and procedures required to effective whole-life management of buildings are outlined. This is followed by introducing a novel generic whole-life cost significance relation to identify buildings’ cost significant items on various levels. Then, the details of the implementation of this relation into a useful computer application are briefly presented. This application has been designed around a recently developed WLC project database. The unique feature of the application, amongst others, is that it has an interactive user-friendly interface to visualize various WLC metrics of the building object under consideration.
