Life Cycle Cost Calculator

The purpose of this Zero Carbon Building Standard Life Cycle Cost Calculator workbook is to provide a financial analysis tool that can be used to evaluate the viability of carbon reduction projects. All applicants who rely on onsite combustion of fuels must provide a transition plan to demonstrate how the building will decarbonize in the future, showing that they have considered appropriate building design or retrofit measures. While project teams are not required to use this calculator, it is recommended as a resource for conducting the financial analysis required with the transition plan. Updated December 2024.
