Feasibility Studies
The outcomes of the energy audit are evaluated technically and financially, in order to define the costs and the benefits from the implementation of the proposed energy saving and renewable energy investments. The results of the cost – benefit analysis, provide a strong indication regarding the viability and feasibility of the various energy saving and/or renewable energy solutions. This financial analysis could be utilised by the management of the audited organization, for finalizing their energy investments.
The main Financial, Environmental and Energy Performance Indicators calculated by the feasibility study, are the following:
- Expected Energy Saving in KWh (Kilowatt-hours)
- Correlated Energy Saving compared to Baseline
- Total Cost Savings
- Avoided Carbon Emissions (CO2)
- Simple Payback Period of the energy investment
- Discounted Payback Period of the energy investment
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the energy investment
- Return on Investment (ROI)
- Net Present Value (NPV) of the energy investment
- Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR)
