Start up programme meeting

The programme start up meeting was really interesting. It was great to see so many good and interesting projects relating to greening ICT. As an addition to our project I was really interested to hear about the issues around the purchase of goods. Those with budgets for the purchase are looking at immediate purchase price, however those in estates are looking at the long term cost of goods - the life cost.

I am pleased to say that I had a very productive conversation about this and we are discussing how the life cost of a product could be considered at purchase. Hopefully it's another message we can spread when we launch the iBuilding dashboard. If anyone includes this on purchase processes please let me know!
