Aims

To analyse, and evaluate the influence of changes in design parameters on the life cycle value of a project considering multiple performance metrics and commercial targets.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Calculate and interpret the impact of design decisions on the life cycle value of the construction projects using several metrics.
2.
Quantify environmental impact of a given building and evaluate life cycle value with the aim of reducing environmental impact.
3.
Propose design solutions that optimizes the trade-off between multiple performance metrics.
4.
Demonstrate skills in collaborative team working and leadership.
