B53.2 Assess and advise on energy and whole life costs
Performance Criteria - this involves being able to...(a)confirm energy goals and priorities for the project, both currently and in the future
(b)confirm assumptions about cost elements, alternative designs, construction, services, financing and use options for the project with stakeholders
(c)review the potential whole life energy and low carbon content of the project from available design and development information
(d)assess and quantify the whole life energy and low carbon cost implications for the project taking into account the views of experts and project stakeholders
(e)review the whole life energy and low carbon costs against the project criteria and energy goals and priorities
(f)select and recommend the most viable options and present them clearly and accurately / The Range...
