3.1Shuttering
A. Cost Distribution
The land is government owned and thus, we recieve it at a lesser rate than market rate.
Maximum cost occurs in the Civil and MEP works (21 and 20%).
The per Sqm cost works out to be INR 35,857.61.
(Refer to Annexure for exact breakdown)
B. Solar PV Panels- ROI
CapEx (including installation and procurement): 3.97 Cr
OpEx (maintainence): 3.97 Lakh
Base case cost (saving in utility costs): 1.3 Cr
Revenue (extra electricity generated): 2.79 Lakh
Savings (Revenue + Base case costs - OpEx): 1.2 Cr
Payback: 3.08 years
C. Comparision with Baseline Estimates C.1 Low- flow fixtures
The CapEx costs are lesser with less efficient fixtures and increase by 26% for low-flow fixtures. However, there is significant reduction in OpEx costs by 70% due to lesser consumption of water. Thus, this reduces our overall costs of water fixtures by 54%.
C.2 HVAC and Lighting equipment
HVAC costs (CapEx and one year of OpEx) have been reduced due to use of passive strategies by 36%.
Lighting costs (CapEx and one year of OpEx) have increased by 15% due to use of more expensive fixtures. Thus, the reduction in HVAC costs compensates the increase in lighting costs (net decrease is 32%).
(Refer to Annexure for life cycle cost analysis for HVAC sys-
