6 PUBLIC SECTOR STANDARD & CUSTOM REBATE GUIDELINES DCEO Energy & Recycling Office

7 PUBLIC SECTOR STANDARD & CUSTOM REBATES Standard Measures Lighting HVAC Equipment HVAC VSD NG Water Heaters Showerheads Compressed Air LED Traffic Signals Kitchen Custom Measures Electric & Gas measures not listed as Standard and show 1-7 year payback Non-HVAC VSD Geothermal $0.12 per kwh saved $3.00 per Therm saved Maximum rebate of 75% of total project cost + bonuses

8 STANDARD & CUSTOM REBATES FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY EQUIPMENT CFLs Fluorescents LEDs Exit signs Occupancy sensors Air conditioners Heat pumps Chillers Boilers Furnaces Water heaters Variable speed drives Vending machine controls Building automation systems Water treatment aeration systems Pumps Motors Refrigerators Freezers Ovens/broilers Dishwashers Spray valves 8

9 NEW STANDARD REBATE MEASURES Multi-level Light Switching Occupancy Controlled Bi-level Lighting Fixture Demand Controlled Ventilation Solar Light Tubes Compressed Air Low Pressure Drop Filters Compressed Air No-Loss Condensate Drain Interior Induction Lighting Cold Cathode Lighting Kitchen Equipment 9

10 POTENTIAL CHANGES IN FUTURE PROGRAM YEARS T-12s: Standard Rebate for all T-12 retrofit and new fixture replacements will be significantly reduced, due to federal energy efficiency standards. LEDs: Exterior LED and induction lighting rebate will likely decrease from current rate of $0.30 per kwh saved to $0.20 per kwh saved. Natural Gas: Custom Rebate rate may be reduced to $2.00 per therm saved. 10
