Abstract
The research project “OSCAR – Value for User and Owner of Buildings” with the main intention ‘to develop competences, methods and analysis tools for optimizing building design in a way to contribute to value creation for owner and end-user throughout its life time’.

The project takes into consideration a clear connection between the design and operation of the buildings and values for the owners and users. To achieve value creation processes, it is necessary to have competent actors who have good tools for decision and communication through projects and processes. Life Cycle Aspect is essential as an input in Early Design Phase, and the processes through the following phases have to assure its inclusion in a way that value creation is complied with the user phase.

The research findings in Oscar project are a result of cooperation with 20 project partners from three countries from academic, private and public sector, representing all stakeholder groups. It is presented how it is possible to achieve more efficient buildings by collaboration of stakeholders from the early beginning with the same goal to maximize value for owner and user over building’s life time.
