11B-iAPPENDIX 11B. NATIONAL EQUIPMENT AND OPERATING COSTS

11B.1 INTRODUCTION In this appendix, the Department presents th e components of the net present value (NPV), namely, the present value of the equipment (or tota l installed costs) and the present value of the operating costs for each of the four appliance pro ducts. The present value of equipment costs is also termed the cumulative national equipment costs while the present value of operating costs is also termed the cumulative national operating costs.
As presented in Chapter 11, National Impact Analysis, the NPV is described by the equation:

_ NPV = PVS PVC

where:

PVS = Present value of operating cost saving s (including energy, water, repair, and maintenance costs) and PVC = Present value of increased total in stalled costs (including equipment and installation).

The PVS and PVC are determined according to the following expressions:

PVS = 

# ‡” OCS y × DF y

PVC = 

# ‡” TIC y × DF y

where:

OCS = Total annual operating cost savings each year summed over vintages of the product stock, TIC = Total annual installed cost increas es each year summed over vintages of the product stock, DF = Discount factor in each year, and y = Year in the forecast (i.e., 2013 to 2043).

PVS and PVC are determined for each year from the e ffective date of the standard to the year when units purchased in 2043 retire.
The present value of operati ng costs and the present value of equipment costs (or total installed costs) are the components comprising the PVS and PVC , respectively. The PVS is

11B-1determined by taking the difference between th e present value of operating costs for the base case and the present value of operating costs for the standards case. The PVC is determined by taking the difference between the present value of equipment costs for the base case and the present value of equipment costs for the standards case.

11B.2 RESULTS The following sections provide tables showi ng the present value of operating costs (also known as the cumulative national operating costs) and the present value of equipment costs (also known as the cumulative national equipment costs) fo r commercial clothes washers. Two sets of results are presented; one based on a seven-perc ent and another based on a three-percent discount rate.
In the tables provided in the following sections, the national operating and equipment costs are presented for the base case (i.e., with out standards) and each standard level analyzed. Differences between the base case and standards cas es are also presented. The difference in the national equipment costs represents the PVC or present value of equipm ent cost increases while the difference in the national operating costs represents the PVS or present value of operating cost savings. The difference between the base case and standards case total national equipment and operating costs represents the NPV

. Tables 11B.2.1–11B.2.4 present the national equipment and operating costs, PVC , PVS , and NPV for commercial clothes washer s at real discount rates of seven- and three-percent, respectively.
As detailed in Chapter 11, shipments projections under the st andards cases were determined to be lower than those in the base case projection due to the higher installed cost of the more efficient equipment. Typically, DOE would use the sta ndards case shipments projection and, in turn, the standards case equipment stock, to determine the NPV to avoid the inclusion of savings due to displaced shipments. But because DOE assu med that any drop in shipments caused by standards would result in th e purchase of used machines, DOE maintained the use of the base case shipments to determine the annual energy consump tion in the base case. Thus, the base case values shown in Tables 11B.2 .1 to 11B.2.4 do not vary with the standards case. Both the CSL and TSL are identified in the following tables.
