Purpose:

This file contains cost estimates for all cost options and facility sample weights set. This is the main file where one can activate 

a certain cost option to be analyzed and a sample weights set used in the analysis. All cost values are brought forward to 2015 

and are expressed in 2009 dollars.

File Contents:

Worksheet Contents

Summary_Counts Summarizes various analysis components by each technology category

Final_Costs Reads costs from the RunPage, brings them to 2015, and expresses in 2007 dollars. These cost estimates are used for the 

facility-level and firm-level cost-to-revenue analyses

RunPage Enables activation of a particular cost option for cost and economic impact analyses

Option_List Contains list of cost options included in this file as well as a list of different sets of sample weights available for the analysis

WeightsUniverse Contains the set of weights for developed for each facility

Assumptions Contains Contstruction Cost Index (CCI) and GDP Deflator values used to bring cost values to a compliance year and express 

them in 2007 dollars. Also contains information about the compliance schedule, discount rates, and the Entrainment Study

1 IM Only Contains "raw" facility-level cost estimates for the IM Everywhere option.

2 CT Only Contains "raw" facility-level cost estimates for the IM&EM Mortality Everywhere option.

3 DIF Threshold (2+) Contains "raw" facility-level cost estimates for the IM Everywhere and EM for Facilities with DIF>125MGD option.
