Guidelines for the calculation of Life Cycle Costs of NbS. Costs of infrastructures: elements of method for their estimation.
In this guidance report we tailor the general LCC methodology for the specificities of NBS and produce a general guideline for demo cases to calculate in a standardized way the TCO of NBS which could be then integrated in the cost-benefit analysis. Life cycle costs (LCC) are also named Total Cost
