The subsequent stages of the model development have been described in numerous publications of the authors, while the aim of this paper is to check the accuracy of the model in the case of changing the parameters that may affect the results of calculations. The scope of the study includes: comparison of the results generated by the model with the solutions obtained in the life cycle net present value method (LCNPV) for time and financial input data, not burdened with the risk effect; the analysis of the variability of results due to changes in input data; analysis of the variability of results as a consequence of changing the sets of membership functions for input data and methods for defuzzification the result.}, type={Article}, title={Original model for estimating the whole life costs of buildings and its verification}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/115670/PDF-MASTER/12_ace-2019-0026.pdf}, keywords={life cycle costs, whole life costs, life cycle equivalent annual costs, cost addition for risk, risk, building}, }
