The paper is focused on questions of building life cycle costing determination (LCC). Current situation concerning the LCC determination in the world is analysed and it is stated here what documents deal with these questions and at the same time also the ISO 15 686 standpoint is stated here. To point out to the importance of the cost determination in this field which is born already with investment project preparation is the aim of this paper.

Analysis of the life cycle cost of a design process that is important in controlling the initial costs and future costs in possession of an investment project. Therefore, there should be a life cycle cost analysis study to determine the cost of any category contained in the hostel building project in the area of Islamic Hospital jimbunmedika Kediri and also see how much the total cost incurred by a development project in the area of hospital hostel Islam jimbunmedika Kediri ranging from the design stage to the technical life of hostels set .The purpose of this study is, identify the service life of the building material components hostels on Hospital Grounds JimbunMedika Kediri, and make long-term plans of the building life cycle cost hostels in the area Jimbun Medika Kediri Hospital. From the results of the research, there are three groups that make up the life cycle cost is the cost of building, operating costs, and the cost of maintenance and replacement. For a long-term plan the life cycle cost of the costs and the percentage obtained as follows, development cost Rp.4.290.000.000 (46%), operational costs Rp. 3.799.333.250 (28%), maintenance and replacement costs Rp. 2.590.900.000 (26%).

Analysis of a design process is very important in controlling the initial costs and future costs in possession of an investment project. Therefore, it should be wise to perform a LCC analysis to determine the cost of any category contained in a building project. The analysis also provide information to see how much the total cost incurred by a development project from initial to the future cost by implementing BS ISO 15686 part 5: 2008. The purpose of this study is to identify the cost proportion and make long-term plans of a university building in term of life cycle costing in the area of Univeristy of Atma Jaya Yogyakarta (UAJY). Results of the study show that there are three groups that make up the LCC: the cost of development of the building, the operating costs, and the cost of maintenance and replacement. For a long-term plan the LCC for 25 years the percentage obtained as follows, initial development cost of Rp. 10,301,450,000 (43%), operational costs Rp. 11,085,000,000 (46%), maintenance and replacement costs Rp. 2.660.570.080 (11%).

This paper presents a review of research in the area of life cycle costing and offers a critique of current commercial cost estimation systems. The focus of the review is on relevant academic research on life cycle cost from 2000 onwards. In addition to this a comparison of the current cost estimation systems is presented. Using the review findings and industrial investigations as a base, a set of mathematical representations for design and manufacturing costs and the introduction of the critical factors is proposed. These are considered in terms of the operational, maintenance and disposal costs to create a method for ascertaining the life cycle cost estimate for complex products. This is presented using as an exemplar, research currently being undertaken in the area of low volume and long life electronic products in the UK defence sector. The benefit of the method proposed is that it aims to avoid the inflexibility of traditional approaches which usually require historical and legacy data to support the cost estimation processes.

This study was conducted in order to estimate the economic life of two models of rubber-tired skidders, namely Timberjack 450C and HSM 904, in Iranian Caspian forests. The total annual costs and average cumulative cost of skidders were calculated by life-cycle costing analysis. The economic life of the machines was estimated by both the cumulative cost model and cost minimization model. The results indicated that the economic life of Timberjack 450C and HSM 904 is 7,700 h (at the end of the 11<sup>th</sup> year) and 15,300 h (at the end of the 17<sup>th</sup> year), respectively, using the cost minimization model. Furthermore, the results indicated that the economic life of Timberjack 450C and HSM 904 is 9,100 h (at the end of the 13<sup>th</sup> year) and 11,900 h (at the end of the 21<sup>st</sup> year), respectively, using the cumulative cost model. The cumulative cost model estimated the economic life of skidders longer than the cost minimization model.

This work investigates life cycle costing analysis as a tool to estimate the cost of hydrogen to be used as fuel for Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles (HFCVs). The method of life cycle costing and economic data are considered to estimate the cost of hydrogen for centralised and decentralised production processes. In the current study, two major hydrogen production methods are considered, methane reforming and water electrolysis. The costing frameworks are defined for hydrogen production, transportation and final application. The results show that hydrogen production via centralised methane reforming is financially viable for future transport applications. The ownership cost of HFCVs shows the highest cost among other costs of life cycle analysis.

Life cycle cost estimates of training equipment for F-16 Avionics Intermediate Station personnel were developed. The major purpose was to compare the cost of intermediate level maintenance training when conducted on simulated vs actual avionics test equipment. This was the initial phase of a planned two-part effort. The analysis was therefore limited to estimates of training device acquisition and maintenance costs. Total estimated fifteen year costs for simulated equipment trainers were approximately 50% less than comparable estimates for actual equipment trainers.

In order to survive in today’s competitive global business environment, implementation of life cycle costing methodology with a greater emphasis on cost control could be one of the convincing approaches for the manufacturing firms. The product life cycle costing approach can help track and analyse the cost implications associated with each phase of product life cycle. Life cycle costing (LCC) practices with traditional costing methods may provide results that have a severe deviation from the real product LCC as it focuses on the cost of materials, labor and a low portion of overheads apportioned by the absorption rate to the product. Activity based costing (ABC) has emerged as one of the several innovative and more accurate costing methods in recent years. It is based on the principle that products or services consume activities and activities consume resources that generate costs. Thus, the ABC system focuses on calculating the costs incurred on performing the activities to manufacture a product. This paper presents a LCC modeling approach for estimating life cycle cost of pumps using activity based costing method. The study was conducted in a large pump manufacturing company from India that has significant global standing within its industry. Firstly, all the activities and cost drivers associated with the life cycle of a pump have been identified. A methodology for LCC analysis using ABC is then developed and it is applied to two different pumps manufactured by the same industry and the results obtained are presented.

Most commonly, residents are always arguing about the satisfaction of sustainability and quality of their high rise residential property. This paper aim is to maintain the best quality satisfaction of the floor materials by introducing the whole life cycle costing approach to the property manager of the public housing in Johor. This paper looks into the current situation of floor material of two public housings in Johor, Malaysia and testing the whole life cycle costing approach towards them. The cost figures may be implemented to justify higher investments, for examples, in the quality or flexibility of building solutions through a long-term cost reduction. The calculation and the literature review are conducted. The questionnaire surveys of two public housings were conducted to make clear the occupants evaluation about the actual quality conditions of the floor material in their house. As a result, the quality of floor material based on the whole life cycle costing approach is one of the best among their previous decision making tool that was applied. Practitioners can benefit from this paper as it provides information on calculating the whole life costing and making the decisions for floor material selection for their properties.
