NPV Approximation using Annuities

Annuities, Capital Recovery Factor (CRF) = 0.1149 Investment = Installed Cost - Debt Principal - IBI - CBI
Investment $-1,000 Sum: Expenses = Operating Costs + Debt Payments
Expenses $-0 $300 Savings = Tax Deductions + PBI
Savings $0 NPV = Sum / CRF: Energy value = Tax Adjusted Net Savings
Energy value $1,400 $3,000 Nominal discount rate = 10.5496%
