A Case Study on Sustainable Technologies in Residential Buildings from a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCC) Perspective

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article mostly addresses the application of sustainable technologies in residential construction through life cycle cost analysis (LCC) using the net present value (NPV) calculation method. The authors rely on data obtained through their own research and information received from the market environment. The article outputs are in the form of conclusions based on a case study on a specific building (apartment building), elaborated in several versions with respect to the technologies used. In total, there are seven alternative versions divided into two groups, where a so-called reference technology representing a traditional (standard) technical solution is present in each group so that a relevant comparison can be made. The first group includes technologies related to heating and hot water, while the second group focuses on the application of recycled water (so-called grey water). The outputs obtained provide an interesting and fact-based view of sustainable technologies within the life cycle of a building drawing from currently available information sources. At the same time, the presented analysis has incorporated price predictions for key commodities, i.e., electricity, water, gas. The article’s specific conclusions indicate that the technologies utilizing renewable energy sources (RES) are typically less economically advantageous (in the absence of subsidy sources) compared to conventional (traditional) solutions, despite the significant savings in operating costs. The LCC indicator revealed a cost value per square meter of gross floor area (GFA) for a residential building ranging from EUR 43 to 68, contingent on the specific option under consideration. This cost value was determined over a 20-year follow-up period and a real discount rate of 4%.
