PAGE 46
C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
The maximum allowable BTU per hour capamty eligible for a
res~dentml rebate ~s determined by d~wdmg the square footage of the
alr-condmonedarea by 600 and mult~plylng by 12,000
Example The Program Capamty for an 1,800 square foot house ~s
1,800__ 30 × 12,000=36,000BTUH
600
The C~ty will pay a rebate on a umt that meets program efficiency
standards and ~s s~zed at 36,000 BTUH or less
2
Actual payment will be determined by d~wd~ng the BTUH of the
installed umt (up to, and including the Program Capamty) by 12,000
and multiplying by the ~ncent~ve
The ~ncentlve amounts and SEER ratings are referenced of the "1998
EnergySave Program Methods Used ~n Determining Eqmpment
Effimency and Ehg~bdlty," and are ~ncoqoorated harem as ff fully set forth
at length
Example A A person ~n a 2,100 square foot house ~nstalls a 42,000 BTUH central mr
condmoner w~th an SEER rating of 12 0
2,100= 3 5 x 12,000 = 42,000 Program Capacity

methodology
REPLACEMENT MOTORS
1 The Denton Electric Utility staff will visit the site to determine the ex~stlng motor's
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 calculationls based on horsepower, efficiency, RPM, and load information
5 The KW or KVA yield wall be multiphed 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
New motors will follow the procedure outlined above for replacement motors but the
efficiency comparison will be made agmnst 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
UUhty
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 Utthtles

CENTRAL ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONERS AND I~AT PUMPS
A
A new condensing ttmt with an ms,de evaporator cml will qualify if matched,
as specified, m the current issue of the ARI Dtrectory of Certified gar
Conditioners and gar Source Heat Pumps and the umt meets the mlmmum
ratings as specified m the 1998 EnergySave Program If the umt is not In the
current A_RI Directory, the manufacturer's latest data approved for publication
will be accepted
If the umt is not in the current ARI D~rectory or data approved for publication,
the average of the lugh and low SEER/EER coil only, not including blower
cml, will be accepted as hsted 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
gmdehnes to qualify for a rebate
The computer simulations must be signed, certified, and dated by a
registered professional engineer and an officer of the company mahng

PAGE 46
C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
The maxtmm allowable BTU per hour capacity ehglble for a
residential rebate is determined by d~wd~ng the square footage of the
mr-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 C~ty will pay a rebate on a umt that meets program efficiency
standards and Is sized at 36,000 BTUH or less
Actual payment will be determined by d~vldlng the BTUH of the
installed umt (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 Detenmmng Equipment
Efficiency and Ehglbthty," and are incorporated here~n as if fully set forth

Motor Master software program to calculate the kalowatt (KW) or kilovolt amperes (KVA) savings
y~eld The calculation is based on horsepower, efficiency, RPM, and load information
5 The KW or KVA y~eld will be multiplied times the rebate incentive amount of $100/KW
or $90/KVA
KW ymld x $100/KW
or KVA ymld x $ 90 / KVA
6 The Denton Electric Utthty will to the site to ven~ installation, and following successful
installation, a rebate check will be totaled to the customer
NEW MOTORS
New motors will follow the procedure outlined above for replacement motors but the
efficiency comparison will be made agmnst a standard new motor, to be determined by the Motor
Master software program used by the C~ty, Department of Energy standards, or the Denton Electric
Utd~ty
ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES
The Denton Electric Utlhty will wslt 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 ~n excess of $1,000 00 require advance approval of the Director of Electric Utilities
