Standard vs. Custom Projects Standard projects involve replacing existing equipment to high energy efficiency models Common projects include lighting and HVAC upgrades New buildings with only one energy efficiency project Custom projects involve installing energy efficient systems (multiple equipment) in buildings under renovation, additions and new construction All projects over 500,000 kwh are custom (250,000 for VFD s) New buildings with more than one type of energy efficiency project Energy efficiency upgrades not included in the standard program Custom projects require pre-approval
Lighting Rebates Types and guidelines
Lighting Rebates kwh savings depend on business sector type and lighting replacement. The more efficient the greater the rebate. Hours per year depends on building type, interior or exterior Example of lighting projects: Existing linear fluorescent fixture retrofits T12 or T8 to LED HID lamp replacements Metal Halide to LED
T12 Retrofit Examples Existing 2 x4, 4-lamp, 34-watt retrofit with a 4-lamp 18W LED Kit in an office = $12.43 rebate per fixture Existing 2 x4, 4-lamp, 34-watt retrofit with a 4-lamp 32W T8 Kit in an office = $5.52 rebate per fixture Existing 2 x4, 4-lamp, 34-watt retrofit with a 50 W LED kit in a manufacturing (1-shift) facility = $18.05 rebate Retrofit existing 4, 4-lamp linear fixture in a grocery store with a 50 W LED kit = $29.44 rebate
