C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity
eligible for a residential rebate is deter-
mined by dividing the square footage of the
conditioned area by 500 and multiplying by
12,000
Example The Program Capacity for a 1,500 square
foot house is
1,500 = 3 0 x 12,000 = 36,000 BTUH
500
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 refer-
enced on page 5 of the 111992 Appliance Rebate

REBATE METHODOLOGY
Rebates for the Premium -Efficiency Motor Rebate Program will
be based on the following methodology
REPLACEMENT MOTORS
1 The Denton Electric Utility staff will visit the site to
determine the existing motors efficiency If the existing motor is
non -operational, an estimate will be made
2 The customer must provide all information on the rebate
application concerning the proposed motor purchase
3 A new motor must not exceed the horsepower of the existing
motor without express written consent by the Denton Electric
Utility, which consent shall be given only if the utility finds an
increased efficiency
4 The information concerning the existing and the proposed
motors will be entered into the 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 mailed to the customer
NEW MOTORS
New motors will follow the procedure outlined above for
replacement motors but the efficiency comparison will be made
against a standard new motor, to be determined by the Motor Master
software program used by the City, Department of Energy standards,
or the Denton Electric Utility
ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES
The Denton Electric Utility will visit the customer site to
determine KW/KVA savings from the proposed Adjustable/Variable
Speed Drive Those savings will be awarded on a $100/KW or $90/KVA
basis A watt meter will be used before and after installation
KW / KVA SAVINGS
Rebates in excess of $1,000 00 require advance approval of the
Director of Electric Utilities

participation
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

Dealers and purchasers may be denied payment for
PAGE 6
failure to follow program guidelines such as
failing to supply correct square footage or
SEER/EER figures; installing equipment which is
not new; replacing part of a split system, or
failure to fill out rebate forms properly
Payments will be made to customers who purchase

tenant purchases and installs qualifying
equipment, the payment is made to the tenant
If the owner of rental property purchases and
installs qualifying equipment, the payment is
made to the owner If the purchaser of a mobile
or custom home selects and pays for a qualifying
unit, the purchaser will receive the rebate
II CENTRAL ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONERS AND HEAT PUMPS
A A new condensing unit with an inside evaporator coil
will qualify if matched, as specified, in the
current issue of the ARI Directory of Certified Air
Conditioners and Air Source Heat Pumps and the unit
meets the minimum ratings as specified in the 1998
EnergySave Program If the unit is not in the
current ARI Directory, the manufacturer's latest
data approved for publication will be accepted
If the unit is not in the current ARI Directory or
data approved for publication, the average of the
high and low SEER/EER coil only, not including
blower coil, will be accepted as listed in the
current ARI Directory
B Computer simulations may be used if ratings are not
listed in the current ARI Directory, provided the
following criteria are met
1 Systems using mix -matched coils must meet all
established program guidelines to
qualify for a rebate
2 The computer simulations must be signed,
certified, and dated by a registered profes-
sional engineer and an officer of the company
making the submittal
PAGE 7
3 The engineer who certifies a simulation must
attest to the accuracy of the input data, the
validity of the calculation procedure used, and
that the results are in accordance with
Department of Energy approved methodology
4 A complete set of the input data and an in-
dication of the source of the data must
accompany the simulated ratings
5 The simulated ratings must be based on the
condensing unit's teste combination as listed
in the current ARI Directory or latest data
approved for publication and identified by the
correct model numbers of
both the condensing unit and coil as listed
in the current ARI Directory
6 Simulated ratings must not exceed 105k of the
SEER rating of the tested system used as a
base
7 An open file of computer simulations will be
maintained at the Energy Management Office
Supplying erroneous ratings or data can lead to
disqualification of those involved from further
program participation
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
PAGE 8
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 refer-
enced 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
2,100= 3 5 x 12,000 = 42,000 Program Capacity
600
42,000 = 3 5 x $100/ton = $350 00 Incentive
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
2,400 = 4 x 12,000 = 48,000 Program Capacity
600
48,000 = 4 x $100/ton = $400 Incentive
12,000
Example C A person in a 2,400 square foot house installs
a 60,000 BTUH central heat pump with a SEER rating of
12 0
2,400 = 4 x 12,000 = 48,000 Program Capacity
600
48,000 = 4 x $150/ton = $600 Incentive

Supplying erroneous ratings or data can lead to
disqualification of those involved from further
program participation
C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity
eligible for a residential rebate is detemined
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 refer-
enced of the "1998 EnergySave Program Methods
Used in Determining Equipment Efficiency and
PAGE 47
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 certral air conditioner with an
SEER rating of 12 0
2,100= 3 5 x 12,000 = 42,000 Program Capacity
600
42,000 = 3 5 x $100/ton = $350 00 Incentive

Example B A person in a 2,400 square foot house
installs a 60,000 BTUH certral air conditioner with a
SEER rating of 12 0
2,400 = 4 x 12,000 = 48,000 Program Capacity

motors will be entered into the 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 mailed to the customer
NEW MOTORS

replacement motors but the efficiency comparison will be made
against a standard new motor, to be determined by the Motor Master
software program used by the City, Department of Energy standards,
or the Denton Electric Utility
ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES
The Denton Electric Utility will visit the customer site to
determine KW/KVA savings from the proposed Adjustable/Variable
Speed Drive Those savings will be awarded on a $100/KW or $90/KVA
basis A watt meter will be used before and after installation
KW / KVA SAVINGS
Rebates in excess of $1,000 00 require advance approval of the
