10.1 The Local Building Official may exempt the certification of a building project in accordance with Item
4.2.3 if it is deemed that the cost of compliance sufficiently exceeds the life-cycle cost savings.
10.1.1 The life cycle cost of a building project with a service life may be defined as "the total cost
of ownership of the item over the service life of the item.
10.1.1.1 Included in the life cycle cost would be the original manufacturing or construction cost,
