Abstract
This is the April 2005 edition of energy price indices and discount factors for performing life-cycle cost analyses of energy and water conservation and renewable energy projects in federal facilities. It will be effective from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. This publication supports the federal life-cycle costing methodology described in 10 CFR 436A and OMB Circular A-94 by updating the energy price projections and discount factors that are described, explained, and illustrated in NIST Handbook 135 (HB 135, Life-cycle Costing Manual for the Federal Energy Management Program). It supports private-sector life-cycle cost analysis by updating the energy price indices that are described, explained and illustrated in NBS Special Publication 709 (SP 709, Comprehensive Guide for Least-Cost Energy Decisions).
