Investors are expecting higher returns on their investments. The latest building valuation and management models are linking the building performance as a key element in arriving at the evaluations like the discounted cash flow method calculating building value, life cycle assessments (LCA) and costing (LCC) as well as the holistic use of Building Information Modelling (BIM). As better performance leads to the higher value of a building, investor is ready to invest more money for achieving better performance results. This creates more pressure in the industry to improve the commissioning and building evaluation practices.
