Framework for Conducting Life Cycle Cost Analysis for Infrastructure Facilities
Publication: Urbanization Challenges in Emerging Economies: Energy and Water Infrastructure; Transportation Infrastructure; and Planning and Financing
ABSTRACT
In the field of infrastructure planning and management, utilizing life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is considered a mandatory requisite for achieving the sustainability of our infrastructure facilities. Even though LCCA model is readily available in textbooks, yet applying LCCA is never a simple routine. Reviewing academic literature and industry guidelines yields wide ranging models of LCCA. One of the main reasons for this disparity is that advancement in analyzing the performance and the impacts of different types of infrastructure facilities has progressed at different levels. This paper presents a general framework and guidelines for conducting LCCA for infrastructure facilities. The main aim of this framework is to guide practitioners in infrastructure management in applying this technique; but in due course, the comparative analysis between different types of infrastructure facilities presented will underline deficiencies and snags in applying LCCA and further drive besought research and advancement.
