“…Gluch (2014) noted that the models often were multi-dimensional to capture the complexities of these types of decisions (e.g. Wang, Zmeu-reanu, & Rivard, 2005;Ding, 2008;Sharma et al, 2011;Swarr et al, 2011, Brown et al, 2013Mjörnell et al, 2014), thereby reflecting an 'objectively determined' functionalist view towards application, similarly to what Rex and Baumann (2008) noted for the development and application of another life cycle tool, environmental life cycle assessment (LCA). The LCC models, calculation methods and/ or tools designed by researchers were then often tested in one or more real cases (e.g.…”

Abstract. Real estate-and property owners' rationales behind the adoption of Life Cycle Costing (LCC) respectively how LCC is actually used in renovation projects, is investigated through empirical data from a questionnaire survey sent to managers in Swedish real estate organisations. The study shows a positive attitude towards LCC. It is perceived to as a flexible and multi-functional tool with a familiar monetary format. Nevertheless, the study also reveals simplistic and undeveloped views of how to use LCC. While much research has focused on developing sophisticated LCC tools, the findings indicate that practitioners' interest in these refinements seems limited. The importance of understanding that LCC is used in a context of multiple and partly competing institutional logics of renovation is emphasised. The paper contributes to a more informed research in development of LCC tools as well as better informed LCC use among real estate and property owners.

The curtailment of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions plays a pivotal role in realizing sustainable development goals, protecting the environment, mitigating climate change, and preserving biodiversity for a cleaner and more resilient future. Thus, it is essential to adopt comprehensive approaches that prioritize energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable urbanization to achieve a sustainable and prosperous future. This study employs wavelet analysis methods, involving Wavelet correlation and covariance, Wavelet coherence (WTC), Wavelet cohesion (WC), and Wavelet‐based Granger causality (WCT), to examine the time and frequency‐based interactions between the variables over the period of 1990–2020. The empirical analysis reveals a significant and negative correlation among CO2 emissions and energy efficiency measures such as coal and gas in the short‐, medium‐, and long‐term frequency domains. Similarly, renewable energy usage and urbanization also exhibit negative correlation with CO2 emissions during analyzed years in the short‐ and medium‐term. Furthermore, the intensity of the correlations among considered variables varies across time and frequency domains. The study recommends to implement such policies that enhance the energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and sustainable urbanization to achieve the net‐zero goal and fostering sustainable development in Sweden.
