Explanation of ROI Chart:

• The ROI Chart is a financial tool that compares the Capital Expenditure (CapEx) plus Operating Expenditure (OpEx) of an Energy Allstar product, to the CapEx plus OpEx of a less efficient product, over 10 years of ownership and operation.
• The calculator offers two options to compare with an Energy Allstar product. You can compare your selected All Star product with a product in the same class that complies with Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS), or with one that complies with the High Efficiency Performance Standard (HEPS).  Equipment complying with either of these Australian standards will be less efficient than an Energy Allstar.
• The Payback Period is the length of time that it takes for the stream of OpEx savings from an Energy Allstar purchase, to equal the additional CapEx needed to purchase the Energy Allstar rated equipment.
• For example, if the lines in the chart above cross at the mid-point between Year 1 and Year 2, then the payback is 1.5 years or 18 months.

Explanation of Annual Return on Additional Capital:

The Annual Return on Additional Capital is a financial ratio to assess the potential investment value of an Energy Allstar compliant purchase, versus the purchase of less efficient equipment. The ratio is calculated by dividing the value of annual electricity savings of the Energy Allstar equipment, by the additional capital cost of purchasing an Allstar qualifying piece of equipment, expressed as a percentage. Note that the additional capital is a once only cost, incurred in the first year, whereas the energy cost savings that produce the ROI recur year after year.

Assumptions:

• All budget prices and costs are excluding GST, and exclude delivery, installation and commissioning as they are considered equivalent when comparing one product versus another.
• Default budget price for MEPS compliant product is 40% less than the Energy Allstar, and for HEPS rated product it is 20% less.
• Actual prices can be entered for a more precise financial comparison.
• The calculations ignore the Time Value of Money.
• Electricity prices inflate at 2% per annum.
• Maintenance costs are not taken into account although when replacing older equipment with new equipment maintenance costs should be lower for a period and the maintenance costs of quality product should be lower than inferior product.
