The European economists proposed the economic criteria, in which some authors applied the discount calculation and other authors applied the simple calculation and also the simple calculation with taking into account the market methods.…”

“…Cost-effectiveness analysis and weighted cost-effectiveness analysis are used to compare alternatives that are equally effective in achieving a stated goal or standard (Needleman 1969;Ruegg and Marshal, 1990;Balchin et al, 1992;Levin, 1993;Fukahori and Kubota, 2003;Kirk et al, 2004). Both analysis concentrate on the minimisation of cost subject to the provision of a given goal or standard.…”

Buildings are one of the biggest assets of Lisbon's central downtown accumulated over a period of several centuries. The effi cient use and optimization of the value of these assets are a challenge for both the owners of individual buildings and for society as a whole. Recently, a new regeneration initiative was announced for old urban Lisbon's downtown, covering three fi elds of intervention: the economic, social and physical fi elds. This paper presents a case study of the regeneration program for the Lisbon's old downtown including an analysis of the framework used to assess the costs and benefi ts.

“…The Deeplish Study was published by the MoHLG in 1966, the economics of rehabilitation endorsed by Needleman (1969) and progressive or gradual redevelopment promoted by Richard Moore in Leicester at that time. Involvement of the local community through participation in decisions related to planning was encouraged by the Skeffingtont (1969) report.…”

Adapting from glorious past to uncertain future

Structural Survey

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to valuate existing building stock with respect to its contribution to a changing and uncertain future, especially in relation to energy performance. Design/methodology/approach -The authors review literature related to existing buildings, climate change and future environmental needs; present energy performance data from ten case studies; and identify inadequacies and scope for improvements with reference to typical housing stock. Findings -Current policies and programmes are inadequate to the scope and scale of the task; a step-change in thought and practice is needed. Practical implications -A massive programme is warranted if the substantial stock of existing buildings is to be adapted to meet identified environmental standards to "save the planet"; a radical re-conceptualisation of building adaptation is required. Originality/value -The paper prompts a review of the role of the surveyor in achieving sustainability through adaptation of existing buildings.
