Oracle Spatial allows users and application developers to seamlessly integrate their spatial data into enterprise applications. Oracle Spatial facilitates analysis based on the spatial relationships of associated data, like the proximity of store locations to customers within a given distance and sales revenue per territory. Oracle Spatial manages spatial data in an industry-standard database, resulting in application integration that takes place at the data server. This enables vendor tools and applications to access spatial data directly from the Oracle Database, providing interoperability and minimizing costs. . | Costing Green A Comprehensive Cost Database and Budgeting Methodology July 2004 Lisa Fay Matthiessen Peter Morris DAVIS LANGDON Costing Green A Comprehensive Cost Database and Budgeting Methodology Table of Contents Introduction 3 Basis of Analysis 4 A Measure of Sustainability 4 Gathering the Information The Davis Langdon Knowledgebase 4 Feasibility and Cost 6 Point by Point Analysis 6 Sustainable Sites 6 Water Efficiency 8 Energy and Atmosphere 9 Materials and Resources 10 Indoor Environmental Quality 11 Innovation and Design 13 Factors That Influence Feasibility and Cost 13 Demographic Location 14 Bidding Climate 14 Intents Values 15 Climate 16 Feasibility and Cost - Conclusion 16 Analyzing the Data - Cost Analysis of Similar Buildings 18 Academic Buildings 19 Laboratory Buildings 20 Library Buildings 21 LEED-Seeking versus Non-LEED 22 Cost Analysis of Similar Buildings - Conclusion 23 Analyzing the Data - Initial Budget 24 Initial Budget Cost Analysis - Conclusion 25 Budgeting Methodology for Green 26 Establish Team Goals Expectations and Expertise 26 Include Specific Goals 26 Align Budget with Program 26 Stay On Track 27 Budgeting Methodology - Conclusion 27 DAVIS LANGDON I 2 Costing Green A Comprehensive Cost Database and Budgeting Methodology Introduction The first question often asked about sustainable design is what does green cost typically meaning does it cost more This raises the question more than what More than comparable buildings more than the available funds or more than the building would have cost without the sustainable design features The answers to these questions have been thus far elusive because of the lack of hard data. This paper uses extensive data on building costs to compare the cost of green buildings with buildings housing comparable programs which do not have sustainable goals. The foundations are also laid to analyze incremental costs over starting budgets and to compare the costs for different specific measures and technologies. .
