Cost

Depending on the Cost model selected on the Building Cost Summary dialog, the report will be displayed in one of 3 formats:

• 1-Basic, a simple report including building only construction costs.
• 2-UNIFORMAT II, a summary report based on standard ASTM UNIFORMAT II conventions.
• 3-NRM1, a summary report based on standard RICS NRM1 conventions.

The 2-UNIFORMAT II and 3-NRM1 options are available in DesignBuilder v5.1 and later only

The outputs of the Cost calculation can be included automatically within the Construction cost data to be fed to EnergyPlus for LCC economic analysis and in optimisation simulations.
