![Economical solar energy and energy from fusion have been identified as two of engineering's grand challenges. While work continues
on these grand challenges, conservation of energy from non-renewable sources is vital. On a practical level, installing low thermal
emissivity windows (low-e windows) on buildings can contribute to energy conservation. Installing low-e windows on a small office
building is estimated to cost $11,000. The windows are expected to last 10 years and have no salvage value at that time. The energy
savings from the windows are expected to be $2,275 in the 1st year. After the 1st year, the savings are expected to increase by $225
each year due to escalating fossil fuel costs. MARR is 12% per year and annual worth is the preferred measure of economic worth.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F28d9b483-de07-43e8-9711-dcf00568269c%2F5e271f8c-257f-4c3e-b032-3769ca6f3072%2F2fk76f5_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
