NPV Approximation using Annuities

Annuities, Capital Recovery Factor (CRF) = 0.0948 Investment = Installed Cost - Debt Principal - IBI - CBI
Investment $0 Sum: Expenses = Operating Costs + Debt Payments
Expenses $-170,100 $-21,200 Savings = Tax Deductions + PBI
Savings $112,600 NPV = Sum / CRF: Energy value = Tax Adjusted Net Savings
Energy value $36,300 $-223,000 Nominal discount rate = 8.1375%
