Application Requirements
Application Requirements Global Information Requirements Applications have been simplified o o Residential applications require only basic equipment and fuel type information Nonresidential applications, except for lighting projects and building shell projects, no longer require conditioned space or fuel type information Remaining section two information is mandatory and important o MidAmerican needs the remaining information to calculate energy savings
Application Requirements Residential and Nonresidential Materials and Labor Breakout on Invoices and Applications Requires material and labor costs to be split out o Assists MidAmerican to determine measure rebate levels o Only include material and labor costs associated with the specific project
