The diploma thesis is elaborate in order to evaluate the economic returns of each proposed building insulation options for seniors in Šternberk. For the calculation use to secluded brick apartment building in the street Žitná. The theoretical section describes the types of buildings according to heating demand and a list of different variants of thermal insulation materials. The second part contains suggestions for building insulation in several variants. It worked certificate of energy performance of buildings, costs of proposed options and the costs of operating the apartment building before and after the insulation. Based on the comparison of results is elaborate economic returns for each of the proposed options.

This thesis is focused on the investment evaluation of a machinery company. The theoretical part describes the technology of drilling, investment project, investment decision making, financing of the investment, its efficiency evaluation by dynamic methods. The practical part introduces the investment project and summarizes theoretical solutions. Moreover, the author carried out the company’s balance sheet and the prognosis of its sales by performing multiple factors linear regression analysis using software Gretl, determined the type of the investment financing and selected the investment project based on the point criteria and the theoretical solutions. Furthermore, the efficiency of the chosen project was evaluated by the dynamic methods described in the theoretical part. Finally, the author created a Net Present Value sensitivity analysis and compared results of the static and dynamic methods. These results become fundamentals for recommendation of the investment project realization.

The diploma thesis deals with overall reduction of energy use in the family house by reducing heat loss and selecting heat and cold source. In the first part are described different types of heat loss along with ways to efectively reduce each loss. Contact insulation systems are further more described, because of beeing used more often. Newer materials are also presented to readers, although their use is less common. The next chapters describe the parameters of choosed heat and cold sources. The calculating part describes process of annual power usage calculation. Further there are three designs of thermal insulation proposed and for each one the appropriate heat and cold source is selected, using heat pump with bivalent operation for all designs. Finally these options are compared in an economic and technical way and the most advantageous of them is determined.

This graduation thesis addresses questions of deriving benefits from the FTTx optical access network. This project is divided into four main subject surveys. First part contains familiarization with individual architecture of FTTx network, topology of network and the use of components in these access networks. Second part shows how ideal optical access network is for distribution of modern multimedia services which pose great demand on the width of transmission band. It also shows success and trend growth of integration of the optical network into access segment in the Czech Republic and the rest of the world. The choice of right proposal and follow-on project of FTTx optical access network in assigned location is described in part three. It also compares investment costs needed for implementation of these proposals. Final part of this project shows financial budget and return of investments of a proposed access network. It also includes a contemplation of optical access network’s development.

The main goal of this study is to compare two forms of asset financing i.e. leasing and bank lending. At the very beginning, there is a description of leasing, its history, benefits and disadvantages. Second part of the project provides definition of bank lending as a source of financing. The third part of the study compares either of financing options through discounted cash flow method patterned after a practical example. Finally, there is an evaluation of options and financial analysis so I”ll be able to find out the impact on the company.
