2)
2)
2)
1)Unit benefits were monetized utilizing EPA, DOT, or DOE data on the value of reducing emissions or fuel savings  (projected values change over time)
2)
2)
1)Monetized unit benefits are multiplied by # of units per representative area taking into account the application adoption rate
2)
2)Annual national monetized benefits are aggregated
Benefits will be available for any year or as Net Present Value
Results are comparable between applications for purposes of ranking the relative merits of applications
