	Key principle of maintaining established infrastructure - “maximum capability per unit maintenance burden.”		Key principle of maintaining established infrastructure - “maximum capability per unit maintenance burden.” This is highly relevant to 'lifetime design' - or a civilization that maintains a required standard of living with minimum energy cost. It appears that lifetime design can easily reduce primary energy inputs by 10x.
