Abstract

Sustainable development and increasing requirements on the economic, environmental and social performance of buildings are causing growing demands on building design. Regarding the current situation in hospitals, the increasing demand for technical equipment is leading to a shortened service life of the installed building products as the refurbishment cycles decrease rapidly. These circumstances reflect an urgent need for life cycle design in hospitals. This paper focuses on life cycle design regarding construction
products of walls, floors and ceilings. In this context a new model for estimating life cycle costs has been developed and is based on normative regulations, dynamic calculation algorithms as well as on specific re-
quirements of hospitals. The new model allowes a quick estimation of life cycle costs for different building components and a practical applicability is shown by the evaluation of a hospital in Graz, Austria
