Economic Evaluation of projects
Description
Evaluation of the economic and financial sustainability of construction projects through the assessment of costs and benefits (revenues) deriving from both public and private investment. The assessments are applied on projects at building and urban scale projects. The techniques used are Cost-Revenue Analysis (for private projects) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (for public projects).
Themes
The economic feasibility of projects is assessed by comparing the direct and indirect costs and benefits affecting the investor. Costs and benefits are estimated over the investment period. The assessment is performed by calculating three indicators: Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and, for projects related to energy retrofitting of buildings, the Pay-Back Period.
