John Wiley and Sons Ltd Handbook of Road Ecology
Book SynopsisWinner of the IENE Project Award 2016.Trade Review“In conclusion, the book provides a very important contribution to the understanding of the effects of linear infrastructures on wildlife. It is 'reader friendly' and practice driven, and I'm sure it will generate both further research and collaboration in the field, so that the highest beneficiary will be the natural vegetation and fauna.” (Bulletin of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group, 1 November 2015) “Authors focused and wrote concisely, which means the contents are readily digestible and consequently easy to use for students in both academic and more technical and practical disciplines… Another major strength of the Handbook of Road Ecology is its comprehensive international coverage. Each of the three editors is from a different continent, and the other contributors cover an impressively diverse range of countries, developed and developing, and cultures. This means that in addition to providing a comprehensive compendium for people seeking information on ecologically sustainable road construction and planning, the volume is also valuable for learning from approaches and solutions applied in different regions…The cross-referencing of chapters is helpful and enables readers to find other chapters relevant to a particular topic with ease. The editors have clearly put considerable effort into ensuring the book is concise and easy to use for all those who are interested in the challenges of ecologically sustainable construction and planning of roads. Each chapter begins with a succinct summary and bullet points and ends with suggestions for further reading, which makes it easy to use as a reference work from which relevant information can be located easily and quickly. The book is richly illustrated with colored photographs and figures." Conservation Biology, 00: 0 (2017) Table of ContentsNotes on Contributors ix Foreword xx Richard T. T.

Book SynopsisWhole life appraisal is a valuable tool that considers both cost and performance over the whole life of a facility and involves balancing the capital costs against the future operating and maintenance costs, whether it is a school, a road, an airport or a power plant.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements vii Preface viii 1 Whole life appraisal – an introduction 1 1.1 Objective 1 1.2 What is whole life appraisal (WLA)? 1 1.3 Why bother with whole life appraisal? 2 1.4 Is whole life appraisal different to whole life costing (WLC)? 2 1.5 Who uses WLA and WLC? 2 1.6 When should WLA be undertaken? 3 1.7 What is the link between best value and best price? 3 1.8 Nobody can accurately forecast the future, so how reliable are the results of a whole life appraisal exercise? 4 1.9 How can money spent at different times over the life of a facility be incorporated into WLA? 4 1.10 What discount rate should be used? 4 1.11 How is inflation taken into account in the calculations 5 1.12 Why isn’t WLA used more widely? 5 1.13 So why bother now with WLA? 6 1.14 Has the computer made a difference to the calculation of WLA? 7 1.15 What has happened overseas? 7 1.16 The whole process seems to be surrounded by jargon; how can WLA be made simpler to understand? 8 1.17 Where does sustainability fit with WLA? 8 1.18 Have the Construction Design and Management Regulations (CDM) 1994 changed the way whole life issues are considered? 8 1.19 How does WLA fit with facilities/asset management 9 1.20 What is service life planning? 9 1.21 Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) is a term used by the defence and aerospace industries; is WLA used in ILS? 9 1.22 What is the difference between running costs and operating and maintenance costs? 10 1.23 How does the residual value work? 10 1.24 Should disruption costs be included in the WLA? 10 2 Whole life appraisal: preliminary concepts 11 2.1 Introduction 11 2.2 Whole life appraisal and construction 15 2.3 Performance of systems, components and materials 17 2.4 Design with whole life appraisal 18 2.5 Whole life appraisal for new and old facilities 20 3 An overview of whole life appraisal 23 3.1 The importance of whole life appraisal 23 3.2 The adoption of whole life appraisal 23 3.3 The balance between fixed and variable costs 26 3.4 Different client motivations for the use of whole life appraisal 30 3.5 The implementation of a whole life appraisal system 34 3.6 The output of whole life appraisal 40 3.7 Some unresolved problems 44 4 Whole life appraisal at the planning and design stage 45 4.1 Introduction 45 4.2 The components of whole life appraisal 48 4.3 Whole life costing and cost management 54 4.4 Appendix to Chapter 4 58 5 Discounting and the time value of money 65 5.1 Introduction 65 5.2 Discounting 67 5.3 Choosing between alternative options 78 5.4 Internal rate of return (IRR) 83 5.5 Inflation 84 5.6 Risk, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis 89 5.7 Summary 91 5.8 Appendix A to Chapter 5 92 5.9 Appendix B to Chapter 5 93 6 Data sources for whole life appraisal 95 6.1 The importance of improving data accuracy 95 6.2 Shared data 96 6.3 Computer aided design (CAD) 97 6.4 Basic data sources 97 6.5 Running costs of different types of buildings 101 6.6 Data on durability and life expectancy of materials 108 7 Operations and maintenance 115 7.1 Maintenance 115 7.2 Energy in buildings 121 8 A practical approach to whole life appraisal for construction 129 8.1 Introduction 129 8.2 Initial problems 129 8.3 Using the weighted evaluation technique as a decision-making tool 130 8.4 A whole life approach involves a feedback system 134 8.5 Whole life analysis 136 8.6 Whole life planning 137 8.7 The relationship between whole life analysis and whole life planning 138 8.8 Cost relationships 140 8.9 The sequence of whole life analysis, whole life planning and whole life management 142 8.10 Documentation format for whole life planning 144 8.11 Costs and benefits 147 9 Taxation and whole life appraisal 149 9.1 The implications of taxation and grants for whole life cost 149 9.2 Capital allowances for facilities 150 9.3 Capital allowances for machinery, plant and equipment 153 9.4 Capital savings allowances and energy savings 154 10 Integrated logistic support (ILS) 159 10.1 What is ILS? 159 10.2 Where did ILS come from? 159 10.3 What is the difference between ILS and whole life appraisal? 160 10.4 ILS and construction 160 10.5 Why use ILS? 161 10.6 The concepts of ILS 162 10.7 The main steps of ILS 162 10.8 The benefits of ILS 163 10.9 An example of ILS 163 10.10 Summary for ILS 164 11 Summary and conclusions 165 Glossary of terms used in whole life appraisal 169 References and bibliography 175 Index 181

Johns Hopkins University Press Roads and Ecological Infrastructure Concepts and
Book SynopsisConceptual and practical, this book will influence the next decade or more of road design in ecologically sensitive areas and should prevent countless unnecessary wildlife fatalities.Trade ReviewRoad kills seriously affect some animal populations, and this book should be required reading for high school and college students, faculty, and general readers. CHOICE Reviews A primary goal of the editors is to broaden the reader's view of road impacts on small animals by providing the ecological context within which the public infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) functions... The book is a call to action for researchers, engineers, landscape planners, and others involved with road ecology to collaborate... to reach common goals. Herpetological Review University researchers, government agencies involved in transportation issues, land managers, conservation biologists, and anyone concerned with the losses to herpetofauna and small mammals because of roads will find this volume to be an important and insightful resource.
