LCCWare Global Variables

A global variable is a constant or time dependent variable which can be used in any cost function, global function or user function in the lccWare model.

Constant global variables have values which are fixed throughout time. Each variable has just one value associated with it. They are typically used for fixed values such as the floor area of a building.

Time dependent global variables have values at every time point in every time sequence. They are typically used for interest or depreciation rates which vary with time.
