The utilization and maintenance is a determining ecological and economical factor in the life cycle of buildings, compared to the construction and deconstruction phases. To estimate and to further reduce this requirement of resources at the Munich Institute for Computational Civil and Environmental Engineering software tools have been developed in cooperation with the German consulting and engineering company COPLAN AG. The purpose is to automate and to accelerate the creation of numerical models for a life cycle analysis and for estimating construction and maintenance costs using a product model based approach.     «
