that is life-cycle cost-effective and has a 
12-year or shorter simple payback period; 
‘‘(ii) may implement any energy or 
water-saving measure that the Federal

ducted under paragraph (1) that is life- 
cycle cost-effective and has longer than a 
12-year simple payback period; and 
‘‘(iii) may bundle individual measures

projects. 
‘‘(B) PAYBACK PERIOD.—For the purpose 
of subparagraph (A), the simple payback period
