Since evaluation of life cycle impacts and life cycle cost of a high-rise commercial building involves a large quantity of data for calculations, a systematic approach is used in the program to organise the data with different levels.

The LCA / LCC tool was developed by Ove Arup and Partners HK Ltd based on the findings of a consultancy study commissioned by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) of the HKSAR Government. It facilitates you to conduct a formal LCA, LCC and energy calculation of commercial developments with its tailor-made database, which is suitable for Hong Kong construction practices.
