C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity
eligible for a residential rebate ls deter-
m~ned 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 zs
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 d~v~d~ng the
BTUH of the installed unit {up to, and ~ncludzng
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

II CENTRAL ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONERS AND HEAT PUMPS
A A new condensang unat wath an inside evaporator coil
wlll qualafy if matched, as specified, an the
current issue of the ARI Darectory of Certafled Aar
Cond~taoners and Aar Source Heat Pumps and the unit
meets the minimum ratings as spec~fled an the 1998
EnergySave Program If the unat ~s not an the
current ARI Directory, the manufacturer's latest
data approved for publ~cataon will be accepted
If the unat as not an the current ARI Directory or
data approved for publacatlon, the average of the
hagh and low SEER/EER coal only, not ancludang
blower coil, wall be accepted as lasted an the
current ARI Directory
B Computer slmulataons may be used ~f ratings are not
lasted an the current ARI Darectory, provaded the
following criteria are met
1 Systems using m~x-matched coils must meet all
establashed program guadel~nes to
qualafy for a rebate
2 The computer s~mulat~ons must be s~gned,
certified, and dated by a regastered profes~
s~onal engineer and an offacer of the company
making the submattal
PAGE 7
3 The engineer who certifies a simulation must

validity of the calculation procedure used, and
that the results are in accordance w~th
Department of Energy approved methodology
4 A complete set of the ~nput data and an ~n-
d~catlon of the source of the data must
accompany the simulated ratings
5 The simulated ratings must be based on the
condensing unit's tested combination as listed
in the current ARI D~rectory or latest data
approved for publication and ldentlf~ed by the
correct model numbers of
both the condensing unit and coil as listed
· n 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 w~ll be
maintained at the Energy Management Office
Supplying erroneous ratings or data can lead to
dlsqualif~catlon of those ~nvolved from further
program partlclpatlon
C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity
eligible for a residential rebate is determined
by d~v~dlng the square footage of the a~r-
condltioned 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 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 BTU}{ of the anstalled unit (up to, and
lncludang the Program Capacity) by 12,000 and
multaply~ng by the ~ncentave
The ancentlve amounts and SEER ratings are refer-
enced of the ~1998 EnergySave Program Methods
Used in Determining Equipment Efficiency and
Elagabll~ty," and are ancorporated herean as af
fully set forth at length
Example A A person an a 2,100 square foot house
anstalls a 42,000 BTU~ central aar condataoner with an

C Program Capacity and Payment Formula
1 The maximum allowable BTU per hour capacity
eligible for a residential rebate is dete~lned
by dividing the square footage of the air-
conditioned area by 600 and muklplylng by
12,000
Example. The Program Capacity for an 1,800 square foot
house is
1,8QQ = 3 0 x 12,000 = 36,000 BTD-H
600
The City will pay a rebate on a unit that meets
program efficiency standards and is sized at
36,000 BTUHor less
2 Actual payment will be determined bydlvldlng
the BTU}{ of the installed unit (up to, and
including the Program Capacity) by 12,000 and
multiplying by the incentive

motor without express written consent by the Denton Electric
Utility, which consent shall be given only if the utility finds an
· ncreased efficiency

motors will be entered ~nto the Motor Master software program to
calculate the kllowatt (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 × $100 / KW
or KVA yield × $ 90 / KVA

software program used by the City, Department of Energy standards,
or the ~Denton Electric Utll~ty
ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES

determine KW/KVA savings from the proposed Adjustable/Variable
Speed Drive Those savings will be awarded on a $100/KW or $90/KVA
