APPI~ION
Applicable to all electric service used for residential pur-

such month exceeds 700 KWH, billing will be rendered that month
under Rate Schedule R-2 and thereafter for a period extending
through the 12 billing months of the next year ending with the
October billing Annually, in November, the customer may again
qualify for the R-] rate provided that consumption has not exceeded
700 KWH per 30-day month during the previous six summer months.
Where individual dwelling units are being served through the
same meter and the KWH in the billing months of MAY through OCTOBER
exceed 700 KWH times the number of dwelling units, the billing for
that month and thereafter will be rendered under Rate schedule R-2

ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT
(Effective 10/07/92)
ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT
All monthly KWH charges shall be increased or decreased by an
amount equal to "X" cents per KWH, to be known as the energy cost
adjustment (ECA). The ECA shall be computed in the months of April
and October to be applied to the following periods of May through
October and November through April respectively. The City shall in
no case change the energy cost adjustment more than twice in either
of the slx (6) months periods The ECA shall be calculated by the
following formula:
Prolected energy cost for winter months
ECA (Winter) = Projected KWH sales for winter months
Projected energy cost for summer months
ECA (Summer) = Projected KWH sales for summer months
The above formula results in Winter 1992/93 and Summer 1993
ECA's as follows'
ECA (Winter) = 1.70C/KWH
ECA (Summer) = 1.70C/KWH
In the event that actual cumulative costs of fuel, variable
costs of Texas Municipal Power Agency (TMPA) energy and purchased
energy (excludIng TMPA's fixed charges) are greater than or less
than the cumulative ECA revenues by $1,000,000 during the flscal
year, the Clty may recompute the Energy Cost Adjustment and re-
establish an ECA that collects or returns such difference over the
remaining months of the fiscal year. such change in ECA shall be
applied evenly to all remaining months' ECA.

(Effective 10/7/92)
Application/Program Summary
The city of Denton Utility Department is offering cash
payments to customers who purchase and install high efficiency air
conditioners or heat pumps in new or existing residential or
commercial facilities.
The program's objective is to reduce energy demand and con-
sumptlon, thereby saving customers dollars on their utility bills
and reducing the peak load of the City of Denton's electric system.
Proaram Guidelines

of Denton Utility Department and must meet all applicable
national, local, and manufacturers' codes and specifica-
tions.
2. TO qualify for a rebate, equipment must be new when in-
stalled.
3. All equipment must be purchased No leased or lease/
purcPased equipment will qualify for a cash rebate
4. Installations must be made by licensed contractors and/or
dealers
5. No rebate will be paid on a partial replacement of an air
conditioner The compressor, condenser and the evapora-
tor coil must be replaced to qualify for a rebate
6 Payments for residential central cooling systems, which
include apartments and mobile homes, will be limited to
a capacity based on a minimum of 500 conditioned square
feet per ton.
7. The conditioned area in square feet is required on each
residential central system request for payment
8 The rebate will be paid to the purchaser of the qualify-
ing equipment upon verification of compliance with
program guidelines.
9. Requests for payment must be received by the Director of
Electric Utilities within 60 days of installation.
PAGE 46

lines such as. falling to supply correct
square footage or SEER/EER figures; installing
equipment which IS not new; replacing part of
PAGE 47
a split system; or failure to fill out rebate
forms properly
2. Payments will be made to customers who pur-
chase and install new qualifying equipment.
If a 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

the rebate
II. CENTRAL ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONERS AND HEAT PUMPS
A A new condensing unit with an inside evaporator
coil will quallfy if matched, as specified, in the
current lssue 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 ls not In the current ARI Directory or
data approved for publication, the average of the
high and 10w SEER/EER coll only, not including
blower co~l, w~ll be accepted as listed in the
current ARI Directory.
B. Computer simulations may be used if ratings are not
llsted in the current ARI Directory, provided the
following criteria are met.
1. Systems using mix-matched coils must meet all
establlshed program guidelines to qualify for
a rebate.
2. The computer simulations must be signed,
certified, and dated by a reqlstered profes-
sional en lneer 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 ~n accordance w~th
D O.E. approved methodology.
4. A complete set of the input data and an indi-
cation of the source of the data must accompa-
ny the s~mulated ratings
PAGE 48
5 The simulated ratings must be based on the
condensing 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 condensing
unit and coil 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 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 multlplylng by
the incentive
The incentive amounts and SEER ratlngs are refer-
enced on page 5 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 with a SEER rating of 12.0.
1,500 = 3 x 12,000 = 36,000 Program Capacity
5O0
PAGE 49
30,000 = 2.5 x $100/ton = $250.00 Rebate Amount
12,000
Example B: A person in a 2,000 square foot house
installs a 60,000 BTUH central air
conditioner with a SEER rating of 12.0.
2,000 = 4 x 12,000 = 48,000 Program Capacity

48,000 = 4 x $100/ton = $400 Rebate Amount

Example C: A person in a 2,000 square foot house
installs a 60,000 BTUH central heat pump
w~th a SEER rating of 12.0.
