Why doesn Quick PEP include implementation costs or anticipated payback periods in the results?
Quick PEP is a scoping tool that is designed to be completed in about an hour. It is a tool that should help you focus on a few large energy saving projects at your plant. However, Quick PEP is not detailed enough to provide any realistic implementation costs or payback periods for these projects. That type of detail is beyond the scope of this tool. A future version of Quick PEP or a more detailed version of a Plant Energy Profiler tool may include financial estimations.
