The aim is to provide a new approach tounderstanding design economics in the context of the changing policyenvironment, legislative and regulatory framework, and increasing economic,environmental and social pressure as result of the sustainability agenda.The book follows a structured approach from theories and principles in the earlier chapters,to the practical applications and emerging techniques focusing on value andsocial, economic and environmental considerations in making design decisions. Itstarts with the policy context, building on various theories and principlessuch as, capital cost, value of design and resource-based theories, the new rules of measurement (NRM) to explore cost planning, the relationship between height and costs, keysocio-economic and environmental variables for design appraisal, eco-cost/value ratio (EVR), whole life theoryand the treatment of carbon emission as external costs, productivity andefficiency, fiscal drivers and legal framework for carbon reduction, procurement and allocation of risks in contracts.Case studies, practical examples and frameworks throughout reinforce theories andprinciples and relate them to current practice. The book is essential readingfor postgraduate students in architecture, building and quantity surveying andis also a valuable resource for academics, consultants and policy-makers in thebuilt environment.
