11 INTERIOR LIGHTING WORKSHEET DIRECTIONS: Incentives are offered only for controls that are not required by ASHRAE Fill out the total interior lighting wattage controlled by qualifying occupancy sensors, central lighting controls, or daylight sensors. The incentives are based on the number of watts controlled by each type of control equipment. Incentives are available for interior lighting where the lighting power density is lower than the code-minimum power by at least 5%. To receive incentives for lighting, please complete the PA Act 129 TRM Appendix E form for interior lighting and provide the report and lighting plans with this application. The "Space-by-Space" or "Building Area" method can used to calculate the LPD for the purposes of the incentive. A U.S. Department of Energy COMcheck worksheet must be submitted as back-up documentation. In the spaces below, please enter the occupied square footage of the building, the total allowed watts, and the total proposed watts. The incentive is based on the difference between the ASHRAE allowed wattage and the installed wattage. Lighting plans (showing layout, quantities, and fixture types), lighting equipment schedule, architectural floor plans, PA Act 129 TRM Appendix E form, and a COMcheck report for interior lighting MUST be attached.

12 LIGHTING SPECIFICATION Lighting Power Density Approach Under the Lighting Power Density Approach, the lighting power installed is compared with the lighting power allowed by code. Incentives are available for systems where the installed lighting power is lower than the code-allowed power by at least 5%. Savings are based on the Lighting Power Density (LPD) calculated on a watts per square foot basis. Incentives will be paid only on the area of the building where the lighting installation is complete and is ready for occupancy. If a portion of a building is not built-out such that the lighting in an area is not complete and ready for occupancy, then that portion is not eligible for an incentive. Baseline lighting power density is based on ASHRAE Either the "Space-by-Space" or "Building Area" method may be used to calculate the LPD for the purposes of the incentive. The incentive for the lighting performance based approach is $300 per kw reduction in connected load below the ASHRAE standard. The minimum lighting power density used to calculate the incentive shall be no lower than 50% of the ASHRAE value. Required Documentation: PECO Smart Construction Incentives Interior Lighting Form PA Act 129 TRM Appendix E Lighting Form COMcheck Interior Lighting Report or equivalent analysis demonstrating space-by-space or building area calculations.

Passive infrared, ultrasonic detectors and fixture-integrated sensors or sensors with a combination sensor are eligible. All sensors must be hard-wired and control interior lighting fixtures. The incentive is per Watt controlled. An inventory of the controlled fixtures and their wattage must be provided for each sensor with the Final Application. Daylight Dimming System Incentives are offered for daylight sensor controls in spaces with suitable available ambient light for at least part of the day. Light may be through skylights, clerestories, windows or light tubes. The controls can be on/off, stepped or continuous dimming. The on/off controller should turn off artificial lighting when the interior illuminance meets the desired indoor lighting level. The stepped controller generally dims the artificial lighting 50% when the interior illuminance levels reach 50% of the desired lighting levels. Continuous or dimming controllers dim artificial lighting proportionally to the available ambient light. All types of daylight sensor controls are required to be commissioned in order to ensure proper sensor calibration and energy savings. Incentives are per Watt controlled. Lighting control options cannot be "double counted". Required Documentation: Cut sheets or submittals of lighting control systems Reflected ceiling plans or schedule showing which fixtures are controlled by lighting controls. Page 12

The control system may also be tied into other electric loads, such as lighting and plug loads to shut them off when occupancy is not sensed. The incentive is per HVAC unit controlled, not per sensor, for multi-room suites. Replacement or upgrades of existing occupancy-based controls are not eligible as a prescriptive incentive. Page 18

21 VFD SPECIFICATIONS (Apply as Custom Measure) Measure Code Specification Variable Speed Drives - 'Custom' Applications: V10 VFDs which are required by code are not eligible for incentives. VFDs or equivalent power reduction equipment are required in most HVAC applications by IECC 2009 (ASHRAE ). Please confirm that proposed VFDs are not required by code. A brief explanation regarding each VFD and its code application should be provided. All VFD s used in conjunction with a process or HVAC application will be paid using the custom analysis. Redundant or back-up units do not qualify. The VFD must control motor speed automatically in response to pressure, flow, temperature, or other variable signal. VFDs installed as soft start without automatic, manual, closed loop speed control do not qualify. Page 21

23 CUSTOM PROJECTS SPECIFICATIONS Instructions for Energy Savings Calculations for Custom Projects Custom projects must involve measures that result in a reduction in electric energy use (kwh) or a permanent load reduction (kw). Electricity savings may result from either efficiency improvements or fuel switching. Custom Incentives are based on the first year Energy (kwh) savings. Projects involving measures covered by the prescriptive incentive portion of the program are not eligible for a custom incentive. Custom applications must be accompanied by detailed engineering calculations that document the annual total and on-peak energy savings. The following serve as guidelines for the minimum required documentation. Equipment Information Submittals A list of the present and proposed equipment and components to be installed, including manufacturer s catalog/model number Manufacturer s specification sheets showing capacities and performance for all major components Energy Savings Calculations Provide calculations documenting the predicted energy consumption of the existing (or baseline) and proposed system using appropriate analytical tools and clearly stated assumptions. Calculations may be performed by hand, but spreadsheet analysis or more rigorous modeling is preferred. All analysis should be provided in electronic format. All assumptions such as operating hours, existing and proposed equipment operational details must be presented. Engineering algorithms and procedures from recognized technical organizations such as ASHRAE, SMACNA, ANSI, etc. must be used. Use rated performance factors tested under accepted procedures specified by recognized rating agencies such as AHRI, ANSI, ASTM, etc. Provide an explanation when equipment performance rating conditions vary from standard conditions. In support of the calculations, extensive documentation must be provided that provides the basis for the savings estimates. The documentation must provide information on the equipment operating schedule, daily and seasonal load profile, and baseline AND energy efficient equipment performance at the operating loads. Typical documentation for custom projects often includes: Engineering or architectural drawings and equipment schedule sheets Component specification sheets that include part load efficiency or performance factors Spreadsheet calculations or input/output files and results from system modeling or other engineering analysis using accepted engineering algorithms and practices Log sheets, trend logs from a building management system, or other operating documentation that are often necessary to document operating hours and equipment loading, and used as a basis for the calculations (in some cases, short term monitoring may be required to document the load profile) Control sequence of operations that are necessary where controls play a part in the savings equation Additional documentation, other than that described in the application, may be required for program participation. Larger projects may also require pre- and post-project sub metering, or monitoring of loads and/or power input as part of another measurement and verification activity to demonstrate the actual energy savings that are realized. Baseline for Custom Analysis Where equipment is replaced prior to the end of its rated service life in order to achieve energy savings, the existing equipment performance may be used as the baseline in the energy savings calculations. Where equipment is replaced due to failure or for other reasons (such as obsolescence or a need for more capacity), the baseline performance used in the savings calculation should be either the minimum performance that would be required by code for that equipment type and application (where a code applies) or the performance of the equipment that would have been selected as the customer's "standard practice" when a code does not apply. Baseline or Existing System Summary Include make, model number, name plate information (such as operating voltage and rated full load amps), rated capacity, quantities, equipment condition and age, facility operating hours, equipment operating schedule, and load curves. If needed, attach separate sheets. All decisions regarding incentives for custom projects are in the sole discretion of PECO. Page 23
