Price reduction until Jubilee weekend (2nd June 2012)

BSRIA presents a set of two guides covering carbon and cost analysis.

BG 5/2008, Whole Life Costing guide has been specifically written for clients, contractors, consultants and product manufacturers to understand the long-term economic implications of their proposals and decisions. The guide will be invaluable to those without financial expertise or a track record in life-cycle analysis. Presents a simple process in five sequential steps; for the practical calculation of whole-life costs for the construction and operation of buildings. 

BG 10/2011, Embodied Carbon - the inventory of carbon and energy (ICE) produced in conjunction with the University of Bath, in line with the recent IGT report, looks at why it is necessary to account for the embodied carbon in construction. Its purpose is to provide the construction industry with necessary data and then present the raw data in a way that is readily usable in calculations. It will also inform the industry how to incorporate assessment of embodied carbon into the design process in order to make informed choices about the materials used.
