C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity eligible for a
residential rebate is determined by dividing the square footage of the
air-conditioned area by 600 and multiplying by 12,000
Example The Program Capacity for an 1,800 square foot house is
1,800 = 3 0 x 12,000 = 36,000 BTUH
600
The City will pay a rebate on a unit that meets program efficiency
standards and is sized at 36,000 BTUH or less
2 Actual payment will be determined by dividing the BTUH of the
installed unit (up to, and including the Program Capacity) by 12,000
and multiplying by the incentive
The incentive amounts and SEER ratings are referenced of the "1998
EnergySave Program Methods Used in Determining Equipment
Efficiency and Eligibility," and are incorporated herein as if fully set forth
at length
Example A A person in a 2,100 square foot house installs a 42,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with an SEER rating of 12 0
22.100= 3 5 x 12,000 = 42,000 Program Capacity
600
42,000 = 3 5 x $100/ton= $350 00Incentive
12,000
Example B A person in a 2,400 square foot house installs a 60,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with a SEER rating of 12 0
22,400 = 4 x 12,000 = 48,000 Program Capacity

Motor Master software program to calculate the kilowatt (KW) or kilovolt amperes (KVA) savings
yield The calculation is based on horsepower, efficiency, RPM, and load information
5 The KW or KVA yield will be multiplied times the rebate incentive amount of $100/KW
or $90/KVA
KW yield x $100 / KW
or KVA yield x $ 90 / KVA
6 The Denton Electric Utility will to the site to verify installation, and following successful
installation, a rebate check will be marled to the customer
NEW MOTORS

PAGE 46
C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity eligible for a
residential rebate is determined by dividing the square footage of the
air-conditioned area by 600 and multiplying by 12,000
Example The Program Capacity for an 1,800 square foot house is
1,R00 = 3 0 x 12,000 = 36,000 BTUH
600
The City will pay a rebate on a unit that meets program efficiency
standards and is sized at 36,000 BTUH or less
2 Actual payment will be determined by dividing the BTUH of the
installed unit (up to, and including the Program Capacity) by 12,000
and multiplying by the incentive
The incentive amounts and SEER ratings are referenced of the "1998
EnergySave Program Methods Used in Determining Equipment
Efficiency and Eligibility," and are incorporated herein as if fully set forth
at length
Example A A person in a 2,100 square foot house installs a 42,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with an SEER rating of 12 0
2,104= 3 5 x 12,000 = 42,000 Program Capacity
600
42,000 = 3 5 x $100/ton = $350 00 Incentive
