Taxes and contractor <br />markups were added as appropriate. Maintenance costs were not included because there is no assumed <br />maintenance on the envelope measures. For HVAC and SWH measures the study assumes there are no <br />additional maintenance cost for a more efficient version of the same system type as the baseline. <br />Replacement costs for inverters were included for PV systems, but the useful life all other equipment <br />exceeds the study period. <br />The Reach Code Team compared the energy benefits with incremental measure cost data to determine <br />cost effectiveness for each measure package. The calculation is performed for a duration of 15 years for <br />all nonresidential prototypes with a 3 percent discount rate and fuel escalation rates based on the most <br />recent General Rate Case filings and historical escalation rates.' Cost effectiveness is presented using net <br />present value and benefit -to -cost ratio metrics. <br />Net Present Value (NPV): The Reach Code Team uses net savings (NPV benefits minus NPV costs) <br />as the cost effectiveness metric. If the net savings of a measure or package is positive, it is <br />considered cost effective. Negative savings represent net costs. A measure that has negative <br />energy cost benefits (energy cost increase) can still be cost effective if the costs to implement the <br />measure are more negative (i.e., material and maintenance cost savings). <br />♦ Benefit -to -Cost Ratio (B/C): Ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all <br />costs over 15 years (NPV benefits divided by NPV costs). The criteria for cost effectiveness is a B/C <br />greater than 1.0. A value of one indicates the savings over the life of the measure are equivalent <br />to the incremental cost of that measure. <br />' 2019 TDV Methodology Report, California Energy Commission, Docket number: 16-BSTD-06 <br />https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/GetDocument.aspx?tn=216062 <br />6 2019-07-25 <br />433 <br />
