Conclusion life cycle measuring & recording It is necessary to measure with a low measuring uncertainty to save money during the R&D process and to fulfill the request of the market. Actual: compare with the footprint at factory and on site compare same types Target: precise measuring during the hole life cycle of utilities is necessary to get assessment criteria's for the future! 19
Lifecycle precise measuring saves costs It is necessary to measure prices and to record the data during the hole life time in a way, that it is possible, to work with the results during the complete life cycle!
