catchphrase in many countries. Issue
on sustainability has
attracted researchers from industry
and academia in
recent years, and
the number is
still growing. Despite different
definitions of sustainable
building, quality
improvement of the
environment, economy, and
social well-being are always
seen as three
major affecting factors.
As part of a
larger future research
framework, the result
of this preliminary research
work suggested that
a low-cost design decision tool
is worth researching.
This paper will
first, review some of assessment
tools currently available today and discuss a new research
direction for optimizing
the application of
those three factors into
project appraisal process
by utilizing Life-Cycle
Costing (LCC) analysis
and second, outline
