Constructor Detail

BenefitCostCalculator

public BenefitCostCalculator()

Creates a new Benefit Cost Calculator and sets all parameters equal to zero. You must then set the values using the get/set methods else an exception will be thrown upon attempt to calculate BCR.

BenefitCostCalculator

public BenefitCostCalculator(double eal0,
                             double eal1,
                             double rate,
                             double years,
                             double cost0,
                             double cost1)

Creates a new Benefit Cost Calculator with the given parameters.

Parameters:

eal0 - The EAL for the Current Structure.

eal1 - The EAL for the Retrofitted Structure.

rate - The Discout Rate to apply. This is in %. i.e. 3.5%

years - The number of years to calculate for.

cost0 - The cost of building the structure "As-Is".

cost1 - The cost of building the structure "What-If".

BenefitCostCalculator

public BenefitCostCalculator(double eal0,
                             double eal1,
                             double rate,
                             double years,
                             double netCost)

Creates a new Benefit Cost Calculator with the given parameters.

Parameters:

eal0 - The EAL for the Current Structure.

eal1 - The EAL for the Retrofitted Structure.

rate - The Discout Rate to apply. This is in %. i.e. 3.5%

years - The number of years to calculate for.

netCost - The cost of a retrofit for an existing structure, or the marginal cost between two prospective structure designs
