Abstract
This research deals with the economical advantage and the capital energy quantity of detached residential houses, which permit resources circulation for a better sustainable society. First, we se,t up a model of renewal cost, which we had obtained through trial of its model house, and calculated the life cycle cost for 180 years using the present value method. Second, using the life cycle cost we calculated the capital energy quantity, which we compared with that of the conventional houses. The result of this study has convinced us that the resource circulation house is to disadvantage at an initial stage but prove to be advantageous for the life cycle term.
