The building manager at a university campus wants to install occupancy sensors to
control lamps in classrooms and other areas. The manager has calculated the blended
rate of electricity at 8.5c per kWh and made calculations of the impact on the
electrical system that appear sound. How would you proceed?

, An energy efficient project is anticipated to save $55,000 each year. The system will
cost $275,000 to install and will require additional operating costs of $7,500 per year
over the 15 year life. If the minimum corporate rate of return is 20%, what is the NPV of
the project?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of simple payback period as a tool for
financial evaluation?
Give this one a try later!
It is simple to calculate and understand, and is widely used. But it ignores
benefits after the payback period and does not capture the total project
value.

such as energy and maintenance as well as initial purchase price?
