1. Overall project cost
2. Cost for sustainable systems or "green" features; renewable technologies, stormwater design approaches, plumbing fixtures, electrical systems, HVAC systems, and glazing. (Note: If costs are not publicly available, make assumptions based on the readings and research online resources.)
3. Life Cycle Cost Analysis: provide a life cycle cost analysis on a specific product or material outlining the cost impact on the construction cost and the building operations for your case study project be sure to provide a detailed list of all your assumptions including the discount rate. It should be supported by an economic analysis (using an electronic spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel). Provide a copy of the spreadsheet with all formulas)
