Data underlying the MSc thesis: A Life Cycle Perspective for Sustainable Real Estate Investment Decision-Making

The research objective was a research and development process for a tailor made LCC-tool with the integration of environmental impact in monetary terms, for a real estate-investment fund. This R&D process ensured preservation of the acquired knowledge. The resulting Environmental Impact (EI)- Life Cycle Costing (LCC) tool (EI-LCC tool) can be found in the files. The data type within the tool consist of 1) environmental impact data extracted from environmental product declarations (EPDs). 2) financial data to show how an LCC-tool could be developed. The resulting outcomes of the tool (MKI, CO2-eq and nominal cost and total costs from a complete life cycle) are the first results required for sub-sequent steps and the implementation. How to implement the results is recommended for future research.

本研究的目标是为房地产投资基金开发一款定制化全生命周期成本（Life Cycle Costing, LCC）工具的研发流程，该工具需将环境影响以货币形式纳入考量。该研发流程可有效留存所获取的专业知识。最终产出的环境影响（Environmental Impact, EI）-全生命周期成本（LCC）工具（EI-LCC工具）可在相关文件中获取。该工具内包含两类核心数据：1）从环境产品声明（Environmental Product Declarations, EPDs）中提取的环境影响数据；2）用于展示全生命周期成本工具开发路径的财务数据。该工具生成的输出结果包括MKI、二氧化碳当量（CO2-eq）以及完整生命周期内的名义成本与总成本，这些是后续研究步骤与工具落地实施所需的首批核心成果。针对如何落地应用该工具结果的相关研究，可作为未来的研究方向。
