520			_aSuggests the several factors responsible for the low level of application of the costs-in-use approach in the UK: attention has focussed on costs alone, to the exclusion of performance; assumptions that increasing capital outlay will reduce running costs have diverted attention from fundamental principles of costs-in-use; while the absence of post-occupancy feedback about buildings` running costs and performance has made widespread acceptance difficult. Ideally, statements about costs and performance should be clearly and explicitly made before the design brief is finalised, using the best information possible. References.
