  • however, there are some good examples
  • 2.5.1. The main reasons for the very low uptake of the LCC methodology in Hungary
  • Lack of practical knowledge and expertise in conducting LCC
  • Lack of access to a comprehensive LLC methodology and the insufficiency of supporting tools
  • Unavailability of relevant data for LCC calculations

  • 3.3. Key takeaways
  • 3.3.1. LCC adoption remains low across many countries, even when there is commitment to GPP
  • 3.3.2. Limited availability of tools for specific product groups
  • 3.3.3. Development of LCC tools is a labour-intensive process
  • 3.3.4. Difficulty in ensuring the methodological soundness of the tools
  • 3.3.5. LCC and TCO practices and approaches are more advanced in the infrastructure/ construction sector
  • 3.3.6. Evidence and data on LCC use is scarcely available
  • 3.3.7. Standardisation gaps/lack of consensus on how to incorporate environmental costs
  • 3.3.8. Time pressure and capacity gaps pose key barriers to wider adoption
  • 3.3.9. Tools are necessary but not sufficient condition for success
