The aim of this work is to estimate the individual rate of return on investment in tertiary education in the Czech Republic. Firstly, I focus on the theoretical explanation of the issue of human capital and investment in education as the most important investment in human capital. On the basis of the theoretical knowledge I present a list of revenues and expenses associated with investments in human capital. From this list I then select quantifiable revenues and expenses for the calculation of the internal rate of return on investments in tertiary education and present the data used in calculations. I describe my own methodology and also the methodology used by OECD, which is a base for my methodology. After estimating the individual rate of return on investment in tertiary education in the Czech Republic, I describe some limits of the calculation and interpretation obstacles of the estimate. At the end of my work, I mention some possible directions for further research in this area.

This diploma thesis deals with the calculation of the heat loss of a family house, possible ways of reducing the heat loss and impacts of replacing an existing heating source with a gas condensing boiler or heat pump. The research is focused on the individual ways of reducing the heat loss and possible choices of heating sources for the chosen subject. In the next part, there is the house described and its heat loss is calculated according to ČSN EN 12831. Subsequently, arrangements are proposed to reduce the heat loss and return on investment is calculated. The last part is focused on replacing the existing heating source by a gas con-densing boiler and heat pump. Regarding to low price of 1 GJ of heat, reducing heat loss without the subsidy program “Nová Zelená Úsporám”, would not be interesting. However, if we replace an existing source with a gas condensing boiler or heat pump, then the reduction is a must.
