Abstract

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is very applicable as a means of achieving the objectives of recent energy information policies in the U. S. and Canada. In fact, the LCC format of information disclosure appears to have a number of advantages over the energy labeling formats these countries have implemented. Its major advantage is that it presents several dimensions of product cost in a manner that suits the complex, multi-attribute decision making associated with consumers' durable purchases. The future of LCC as a tool for consumer information provision lies in behavioral research into the actual impact of LCC information on consumer purchase processes, particularly choice. Several technical issues must also be resolved.
