The document discusses life cycle costing (LCC) for facility design, construction, operations, and maintenance. It covers topics such as the standards and objectives for LCC, costs that must be considered, data sources, assessing accuracy, assumptions, uncertainties, energy pricing, financing, and software. LCC analysis involves choosing the most cost-effective alternative by considering all costs over the life of a facility from inception to disposal. It can help overcome initial cost barriers and improve capital asset valuations by incorporating operating costs.
This report focuses on the Cost-Benefit Analysis which is effective tool and a rational technique for economic valuation where market information is either non-existent or deficient is.
Multi-criteria analysis (‘MCA’) is a set
of methods, techniques and tools that
considers multiple objectives and
criteria to support decision-making.
It takes a broader perspective than
cost–benefit analysis and costeffectiveness
analysis, which stress
monetary considerations. MCA is set
to play a greater role in investment
appraisal as increasing emphasis is
placed on having clear strategic links to
policies, ‘levelling up’, and stewardship
of the environment. Dr Rupert Booth,
Independent Economic Adviser,
considers the motivations for the use of
MCA and some of its many techniques

20151112 Conference Call on Economic Opportunities for Clean Energybusinessforward
As America transitions to using cleaner energy sources, new opportunities should emerge for American businesses. A report released this week by ICF International and NextGen Climate America found that accelerating the transition to a clean energy economy will decrease energy costs and create over a million jobs by 2030.
Please join us for a conference call with Dan Lashof, Chief Operating Officer of NextGen Climate America, who will discuss the economic opportunities of clean energy.
The cost-effectiveness tests used for energy efficiency programs are decades old and, in many cases, haven’t kept up with the energy policy goals of the states that use them. The National Standard Practice Manual (NSPM) is an attempt to bring cost-effectiveness testing up to date to meet modern needs.
In this webinar, we get an inside look at why the State of Minnesota re-evaluated their tests and how they used the NSPM to envision a new, customized Minnesota Test.
The webinar featured Adam Zoet, Principal Energy Planner with the Minnesota Department of Commerce and Tim Woolf, Vice President at Synapse Energy Economics, lead author of the Minnesota report and one of the NSPM authors.

LIfe cycle costing case studies of RES and EE projectsLeonardo ENERGY
Making sound energy investment decisions is a complex task – no matter whether it concerns a renewable energy system (RES) or an energy efficiency (EE) investment. A life cycle cost (LCC) analysis combined with an assessment of the available financing options should be the obligatory path for every investment decision. Decision makers usually focus on familiar financing schemes and may fail to consider alternative means of financing which can be of significant added value to a project.
This paper is intended to be a guide in the process of evaluating a project. Such evaluation includes an assessment of its cost structure through the LCC approach (also called total cost of ownership or TCO) and an assessment of financing options. It will be demonstrated and explained that the most profitable financing is not always the most appropriate one.
Session 3 focuses on the regulatory treatment of investments and incentives for investments. Finding an adequate balance between efficient and sufficient investments is one of the major tasks for regulators. They can use various approaches to assess and encourage investments necessary to provide reliable and efficient services. In this session we explain the types of investments and their integration in the regulatory price control. We also present different regulatory incentive schemes to encourage investments. Finally, we provide examples from international regulatory practice.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. WHAT IS LIFE CYCLE COSTING
Definitions:
LCC are summations of cost estimates from inception to
disposal for both equipment and projects as determined
by an analytical study and estimate of total costs
experienced during their life.
Objectives to using life cycle costing:
The objective of LCC analysis is to choose the most cost-
effective approach from a series of alternatives so the
least long-term cost of ownership is achieved.
5/14/2010 3
4. LCC for Facility Investments
Typical problems that LCC can resolve:
Having lower life cycle costs provides the
incentive to overcome the lower first cost or
budgetary restrictions.
Capital Asset valuations that look at the
revenues and the operating costs are improved
by having the lower operating costs of better
facilities.
Making repairs to existing equipment versus
advancing the purchase of new better
performing equipment
5/14/2010 4
5. Application to design and construction process
LCC analysis has many applications in the capital
asset, buildings and infrastructure projects that use
the design and construction process. Choosing the
appropriate materials and costing out the operating
and maintenance cost of different alternatives
provides the design and construction professional
the ability to include the owner’s financial criteria as
part of the process.
5/14/2010 5
6. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR LIFE CYCLE
COSTING
Developing design alternatives
The LCC analysis is a comparative process of
significantly different alternatives in order to
provide meaningful results. While repeating
previous designs and just bringing them up to
current regulatory codes may provide a capital
asset that can be accurately priced as a base
case, innovation in technology and new
materials should be used to develop alternatives.
This may require a design Charrette that brings
together all major stakeholders so that they can
suggest the things they would like to see
incorporated and for what reason.
5/14/2010 6
7. Estimating the cost inputs
Life Cycle Costing incorporates both
Life Cost Planning, which occurs during
development, and
implementation of that plan by Life Cost
Analysis as the asset is used or occupied.
Cost inputs are required for each cash flow
item at today’s prices. These can be recent
purchases or past payments that can be
updated to current prices.
5/14/2010 7
8. Selecting the economic parameters
Life Cycle Costing incorporates both costs that occur
today and those that will be paid for in the future.
Cash flows that occur in the base year are at current prices
however future costs may escalate due to inflation and real price
increases, and
implementation of Life Cost Analysis requires the discounting of
the future cash flows to reflect the Time Value of Money.
Economic parameters such as the real inflation of the major cost
factors such as energy and the general inflation that will impact all
recurring operating expenses will allow for cash flow items to be
priced in the future years they occur.
These cash flows are then discounted by the cost of money to
calculate the net present value for the the alternatives.
Definitions –compounding, discounting, equivalency, current and
constant dollars and present value
5/14/2010 8
9. Forecasting future economic scenarios
Life cycle costs for assets will be impacted by
the economic scenarios that occur in the future
due to their long life.
Current prices for energy and maintenance may not reflect
the future costs due to inflation and real price increases,
and
Future Energy and Environmental regulation compliance
costs can have volatile patterns that are not predictable.
Economic parameters such as the real inflation of energy
and general inflation rates are linked to the economic and
monetary policies of the central banks.
Discount rate policies and foreign exchange variations can
all influence the cost of money used to calculate the net
present value for the the alternatives.

cost of those funds and others.
LCC shows the tradeoffs in capital and operating and repair
costs.
LCC influenced by terminal values if different for major
components.
LCC can show benefit of advancing planned replacements if PV
paid for by lower operating and later future repair costs.
Financing and financial and tax incentives impact LCC
Outsourcing and performance contracting can reduce risks
5/14/2010 12
13. Cost and Policy Uncertainties
Energy and Climate Change issues
• Major changes in gas and electricity markets have made the
costing on maintenance and equipment operations more complex
• Energy costing methodology for true energy cost has both
supply and demand side implications
• Utility Costs – Market Prices and new contracts
• Demand Management – Historical approach especially in US
where Demand Charges can be more than 50% of electricity bill
• Real Time Pricing and Demand Response Programs
• Demand Management Today and Future Carbon issues
5/14/2010 13
14. • Major changes in gas and electricity markets have made the
costing on maintenance and equipment operations more complex
Demand side was domain of engineering and operations
Supply side was the responsibility of procurement and
purchasing
Integration of supply and demand is critical to control your total
energy picture.
New pricing regimes and equipment technologies can offer new
opportunities and contribute to lower carbon footprint as well.
5/14/2010 14
15. • Energy costing methodology for true energy cost has both
supply and demand side implications
Example of absorption chiller and centrifugal chiller used to show
the past engineering method based on stable energy input prices
is no longer applicable
Recent Programs launched by Ontario Power Authority with
BOMA include Fuel Switching with incentives for Peak reduction.
Thermal Storage using ice can be economic
Deep lake cooling are options for those in downtown.
5/14/2010 15
16. Demand Management Today and Future Carbon issues
Power monitoring systems are available to support manual load
curtailment. Automated systems are also an option with greater
analytics and output control
New Clean energy Programs offer on site generation contracts
that provide capacity payments and incentives while meeting the
local loads.
New carbon tax and/or cap and trade programs will add new
complexities to the total life cycle costs of major maintenance
decisions with large energy component.
All these options require the integrated approach to supply and
demand.
5/14/2010 16
17. • Utility Costs – Market Prices and new contracts
Both gas and now electricity are deregulated for commercial and
industrial sectors.
Real Time Pricing is now more volatile and affect the risk profile.
Options include commodity portion price protection, Weather
derivatives, and other peak and volume pricing schemes.
• Demand Management – Historical approach especially in US
where Demand Charges can be more than 50% of electricity bill
Past practices to start generation during the traditional peak
periods has to be reevaluated.
New rates for transmission, distribution affect options and are
now unbundled from the commodity portion for energy.
5/14/2010 17
18. Real Time Pricing and Demand Response Programs
Demand Response Programs offer incentives to shift loads and
respond to DR signals in GRID stresses situations.
Hourly Price skyrockets when all the interconnected markets are
stretched due to weather, storms, and large generation plant
outages.
Demand Response payments can buy the upgrades to the control
systems that will produce the demand response but also offer
other operational benefits that lower life cycle costs.
