Economical solar energy and energy from fusion have been identified as two of engineering's grand challenges. While work continues on these grand challenges, conservation of energy from non-renewable sources is vital. On a practical level, installing low thermal emissivity windows (low-e windows) on buildings can contribute to energy conservation. Installing low-e windows on a small office building is estimated to cost $12,500. The windows are expected to last 9 years and have no salvage value at that time. The energy savings from the windows are expected to be $2,650 in the 1st year. After the 1st year, the savings are expected to increase by $100 each year due to escalating fossil fuel costs. MARR is 11% per year and annual worth is the preferred measure of economic worth. Part a Are the low-e windows an economically attractive investment?
