Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Discover APPA's national standard for facilities asset management — a transparent, holistic framework that helps facilities professionals and financial administrators make data-driven decisions across the full life cycle of built assets. The 194-page standard covers foundational principles, an implementation framework, and the data elements needed to apply TCO across your institution's entire portfolio, guiding three core decisions: new asset selection, renovate-or-remove calls, and financial planning. Built for owners, financial operators, and facility professionals alike. The digital edition on APPA's Knowledge Platform is available to members and non-members for purchase.
