“…This mama3 assumes the most common practice, which is end-of-the-period cash flows. Most capita3 investment analyses define a "period" as a year (Ruegg and Marshall 1990). As such, compounding or discounting the cash Rows for the analyses can be performed using an m u d discount rate (discussed in the Discount Rates subsection in Section 2).…”

“…Given these potential problems with IRR, it is recommended that IRR be used only when performing an acceptkeject analysis for single projects. The IRR is acceptable in this instance because when IRR is greater than the hurdle rate, the actual yield when accounting for reinvestment at the hurdle rate will also be greater than the hurdle rate (Ruegg and Marshall 1990).…”

(703) 487-4650 t* Printed on paper containing at least 50% wastepaper, including 10% postconsumer waste 3 PrefaceA Manual for the Economic Evaluation of Energy Eflciency and Renewable Energy Technologies provides guidance on economic evaluation approaches, metrics, and levels of detail required, while offering a consistent basis on which analysts can perform analyses using standard assumptions and bases. It not only provides information on the primary economic measures used in economic analyses and the fundamentals of finance but also provides guidance focused on the special considerations required in the economic evaluation of energy efficiency and renewable energy systems.The Analytic Studies Division (ASD) of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed this manual for the Office of Planning and Assessment (OPA) in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It is envisioned that this manual will serve as a standard reference on economic evaluation within DOE'S Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.Several NREL staff members contributed to this manual through valuable input and review. Outside of NREL, many people provided information for and reviewed drafts of the manual. Among the latter are Fred Abel of the Office of Planning

In the last decades, Facility Management (FM) has established itself as a key building service factor.FM includes supporting services and organizing functions essential for maintaining, operating and managing physical component and material. The purpose of the paper is to develop an economical analysis for building facilities management during its service life based on limited cost. This method helps to facilities managers and engineers to make better decisions for reducing of facilities assessment costs and increasing the facilities' service life. This paper presents the preliminary development of a model involves three stages process namely data collection, economic computation and economic process optimization. This process was tested for fiberglass doors example in a building interior and exterior system. If executives can manage essential points effectively and make decisions according to a key performance index, cost can be optimized and safety can be enhanced for installation building.

“…A comparison between the present values of life cycle cost (PVLCC) of the renewable energy system to the traditional system determines whether it is cost effective. If the PVLCC is lower than for the traditional base case and in other aspects is equal, and the project meets the investor's objectives and budget constraints, it is considered cost effective and the preferred investment [7][8][9]. On the other hand, because of energy savings and the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), emissions abatement is the major benefit sources of a PVs-project.…”

Because Photovoltaic system tends to save the energy expenditure across the life span of the systems, this paper uses life cycle costing (LCC), saving-toinvestment ratio (SIR), and discounted payback period (DPP) methods to construct the renewable energy evaluation framework in Taiwan. The benefits of PVs mainly derive from energy cost savings, enhanced power quality and reliability, reduced environmental emissions, rebates, and other incentives. Based on the field data of PV-projects located at Taiwan, the paper identifies the technical and economic parameters of the systems evaluation model. The empirical case showed that the saving-to-investment ratio of the BIPV systems with/without government subsidy is not currently feasible in Taiwan. After examining critical factors of the PVs-project, the sensitivity analysis of the future PVs-project was shown. Based on the empirical residential case with a reasonable PR value, the results of sensibility analysis showed that BIPV will become one of the dominant renewable energies in the near future if good, integrated building design is available.
