45
property purchases and installs qualifying equipment, the payment is
made to the owner If the purchaser of a mobile or custom home selects

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 cur cent 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
Systems using mix -matched coils must meet all established program
guidelines to qualify foi a rebate
2 The computer simulations must be signed, certified, and dated by a
registered professional c ignieer and an officer of the company making
the submittal
The engineer who certi tics 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 indication of the source of the
data must accompany the simulated ratings
The simulated ratings must be based on the condensing umt's tested
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
Simulated ratings must not exceed 105% of the SEER rating of the
tested system used as a base
An open file of computes 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
M
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
1400 = 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
