Methods of evaluating long-term financial effects of energy efficiency projects

Journal Title: Business and Economic Horizons - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 3

Abstract

Financial analysis of investments aimed at energy efficiency improvement differs from the standard investment analysis. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of methodological approaches to evaluation of energy efficiency projects’ financial effects. Its contribution lies in providing conceptual framework for the analysis of energy efficiency methodology, as well as in comprehensive literature review. The findings show that the methods used for evaluation of financial effects of energy efficiency projects are determined by the three main categories: scope, timing, and approach.
