Commercial rebates

The amount of rebate varies according to each project.

The Vera Lighting Calculator Version 6

Eligibility

• Available for retrofits and new construction.
  • Retrofits must achieve at least a 25% kWh reduction determined by the lighting calculator.
  • New Construction projects must achieve at least a 20% kWh reduction from the lighting power allowance, as determined by the lighting calculator.
  • Projects with Networked Lighting Control (NLC) measures have the following additional requirements:
    • Fixtures must be listed on the Design Lights Consortium Solid State Lighting Qualified Products List;
    • Control products must be listed on the Design Lights Consortium Solid State Lighting Qualified Products List;
    • The control product model number must be included in the “notes” section of the Measures tab for each measure within a lighting calculator.

Eligibility

• Incentives are for retrofits.
• Building may be electrically or gas heated.
• ARC projects are not eligible for a Connected Thermostat payment.
• Existing RTU has the following pre-condition characteristics:
  • A cooling capacity equal to or greater than 5 tons;
  • A unitary system (split systems are not eligible); and
  • A constant-speed supply fan (RTUs with variable-speed fans are not eligible).
• Post-conditions:
  • Be installed on an existing rooftop unit; and
  • Be listed on the ARC Qualified Products List (QPL).

Rebate: $150 to $700 per ton

Eligibility

• Incentives are for retrofits and upgrades; new construction projects may qualify for upgrade only.
• Building must be primarily electrically heated.
• New equipment for retrofits must hold an HSPF2 rating and meet federal minimum requirements.
• New equipment for upgrades must hold the following HSPF2/HSPF efficiencies:
  •  <65,000 Equipment size (cooling capacity; BTU/H):
    •  Split-System, 8.1 HSPF2 or 9.6 HSPF
    • Single Package: 7.0 HSPF2 or 8.3 HSPF
  • >65,000 and <135,000: 3.5 COP
  • >135,000 and <240,000: 3.4 COP
  • >240,000: 3.4 COP

Eligibility

• Incentives are for retrofits only.
• Building is eligible to receive payments for more than one thermostat.
• This measure is not eligible for lodging, 24/7 occupancy, or semi-conditioned spaces.
• Connected thermostat projects are not eligible for an ARC payment.
• Pre-conditions:
  • Heating fuel type of system to be controlled by new thermostat may be electric or gas; and
  • The existing thermostat is not web-enabled.
• Post-conditions – Initial Install:
  • The installed thermostat controls an existing HVAC supply fan and serves a single zone. “Invisible zones” are permitted (e.g., separate RTUs serving different portions of a large retail space).
  • The installed connected thermostat must be listed on the Connected Thermostat Qualified Products List (QPL).
  • The thermostat must be programmed as follows:
    • Thermostat is connected to the web.
    • Temperature setback is used for unoccupied hours (heating and/or cooling, as applicable).
    • Fan schedule uses auto mode for unoccupied hours (e.g., during unoccupied hours or holidays, the fan will only run when there is a demand for heating or cooling).
    • Override duration set to three hours or less.
    • For heat pumps, auxiliary resistance heat lock-out is enabled with appropriate temperature set point.
    • In cases where two or more systems serve spaces that are not separated by physical barriers (e.g., “invisible zones”), simultaneous heating and cooling is eliminated (i.e., by having identical temperature set points and schedules with appropriate dead-bands, or through having network-coordinated controls).
  • Post-conditions – Verification Only:
    • The thermostat received a payment for the initial install and was installed after October 1, 2019.
    • The thermostat is eligible for up to four verification payments within two years of the initial install.
    • A verification payment can be claimed in same year as the initial install, provided verification takes place at least three months after the initial install.
    • The thermostat is programmed to meet the initial install programming requirements as described above under Initial Install Post-conditions.
    • The thermostat is eligible for a verification payment twice within one calendar year. Verification may not be less than three months apart.
    • Verification must occur in different seasons.

Rebate: $300 to $1,000 per ton
