17. Secondary Policy Objective – Whole Life Value Policy – achieving value for money from projects The Whole Life Value of a development takes into account many things including the costs of acquiring it (including consultancy, design and construction costs, and equipment), the costs of operating it and the costs of maintaining it over its whole life through to its eventual disposal
18. Secondary Policy Objective – User Satisfaction & Comfort Policy – ensuring that developments deliver buildings that support the activity that goes on inside them through good design and well managed buildings. User Satisfaction and Comfort are driven by a wide variety of issues from aesthetics, management and control of lighting and heating, movement in and around the building and other issues that confront users. This is similar in some ways to Place Shaping and Adaptation, but it regards the specific building and the people inside it as the core issue, rather than how the building fits in its surrounding area.
