not previously served by the City at any locatzon in the
City's service area in the last 12 months, where such
metered demand will be in excess of 225 KVA or 200 KW,
as estimated and mutually agreed upon by the Director of

(2) Existing customers served under Rate Schedules GSS, GSL
or TGS who increase their prior existing metered demand
by 225 KVA or 200 KW This increase shall be verified
by comparing a three month rolling average of the new
level of demand to the prior demand averaged for
corresponding months During periods ~n which this
verification method cannot be applied, the Director of
Electric Utilities and the customer may develop a
mutually agreed upon formula to estimate the base and
additional demand levels
NET MONTHLY RATE
The customer shall be charged under the appropriate applicable
rate schedules with the exception that the monthly billing demand
(For GSS and GSL) or system demand and on-peak demand (For TGS)
will be adjusted in accordance w~th the following table

PAGE 44
Payments will be made to customers who purchase
chase and install new qualifying equipment If a
tenant purchases and installs qualifying
equipment, the payment zs made to the tenant If
the owner of rental property purchases and
installs qualifying equipment, the payment zs 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 unmt 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
1992 Appliance Rebate Program If the unit is not
in the current ARI Directory, the manufacturer's
latest data approved for publication will be ac-
cepted
If the unit is not zn 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 ~n 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
establmshed program gumdel~nes to qualmfy
for a rebate
2 The computer simulations must be signed, certi- fied, and dated by a registered profes-
-. slonal engineer and an officer of the
company making the submittal
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 accor-
dance with D O E approved methodology
4 A complete set of the input data and an indi-
cation of the source of the data musu
accompany the simulated ratings
5 The s~mulated ratings must be based on the con-
denslng unit'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
PAGE 45
condenszng unit and cozl as listed in the
current ARI Directory
6 Simulated ratings must not exceed 105% 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 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 × 12,000 = 36,000 BTUH
500
The City wilt 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 d~vldlng 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 "1992 Appliance Rebate
Program Methods Used in Determining Equipment
Efficiency and Ellglbzllty," and are incorporated
herein as if fully set forth at length
Example A A person in a 1,500 square foot house
installs a 30,000 BTUH central air
conditioner wmth a SEER rating of
12 0
1,500 _ 3 x 12,000 36,000 Program Capacity
500
30,000 _ 2 5 x $100/ton = $250 00 Rebate

Example B A person in a 2,000 square foot house
installs a 60,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with a SEER rating of

Utility, which consent shall be gzven only if the utzlzty finds an
increased effzczency
4 The information concerning the exlstzng 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 znformatlon
5 The KW or KVA yield wzll be multiplIed tzmes the rebate
incentive amount of $100/KW or $90/KVA
KW yield x $100 / KW
or KVA yield x $ 90 / ~VA
6 The Denton Electric Utzllty w~ll to the szte to verzfy
installation, and followzng successful znstallatzon, a rebate check
w~ll be mamled to the customer
NEW MOTORS
New motors will follow the procedure outlined above for
replacement'-motors but the effzc~ency comparzson w~ll be made
agaznst a standard new motor, to be determzned 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 Utllzty wzll visit the customer site to
determine KW/KVA savings from the proposed Ad]ustable/Varmable
Speed Drive Those savings will be awarded on a $100/KW or $90/KVA
basis A watt meter wzll be used before and after Installation
KW / KVA SAVINGS
Rebates in excess of $1,000 00 require advance approval of the
Director of Electrzc Utzlltles
