Abstract
Prospective evaluations (evaluations prior to system installation) and retrospective evaluations (evaluations after system operation commences) are necessary to ensure that proposed and implemented systems satisfy the stakeholders’ requirements upon which they are based. To be effective, these evaluations require methods for performing annualized benefit and cost analyses. Selection of parameters for assessing benefits, and identification of key parameters associated with benefits estimation are important for these evaluations. These topics, along with planning requirements for project evaluations after the commencement of the operation and the impact of evaluation requirements on system design, are discussed in this chapter.
