520 |aChanges in the regulatory environment mean that higher energy standards are being mandated, but there are concerns that construction upgrades should be cost effective. Accordingly, software that can provide the energy performance and costing information at the same time is very attractive. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has developed a life-cycle costing (LCC) software that has the potential to be a tool to address these concerns. This study was undertaken to perform a critical review of the software, and to perform a market survey to identify the commercial opportunities for the LCC software. Since there are a number of technical problems with the current version of the LCC software, the author suggests that it is premature at this stage to discuss marketing options and strategies. He is also of the opinion that the window of opportunity for this type of software may have already passed. However, if CMHC is interested in pursuing the development of LCC software, it may be more useful to investigate taking some components, such as the code comparisons or costing elements, and tying them to existing software such as HOT-2000.
