Demonstrating the Environmental & Economic Cost-Benefits of Reusing DoD's Pre-World War II Buildings

Abstract

The purpose of this Study is to demonstrate how to incorporate environmental costs and benefits into traditional life-cycle cost analyses (LCCAs) and total ownership cost (TOC) analyses for military construction projects, using two key metrics: life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the net present value (NPV) of life-cycle costs with monetized GHG emissions. The Study focused on buildings constructed before World War II (Pre-War Buildings).
