mum use as recorded by the City's demand meter plus the KW
nameplate rating(s) of the customer's generator(s). In the
event the customer's generator(s) is/are off-line at the time
of the establishment of the maximum system demand, the KW
nameplate rating of the generator(s) unavailable for service
shall be removed from the determination of the system demand.
In no event shall the system demand be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the maximum system demand similarly deter-
mined during the billing months of June through September in
the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the current month.

ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT
(Effective 10/01/93)
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 March
and September to -.be.applied to the-following periods of April
through September and October through March respectively. The City
shall in no case change the energy cost adjustment more than twice
in either of the six (6) months periods. The ECA shall be
calculated by the following formula:
ECA (Winter) = Projected energy cost for winter months
Projected KWH sales for winter months
ECA (Summer) Projected energy cost for summer months
Projected KWH sales for summer months
The above formula results in- Winter1993/94 and estimated
Summer 1994 ECA's as follows:
ECA (Winter) = 1.904/KWH
ECA (Summer) = 1.904/KWH
In the event that actual plus estimated 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 actual and projected ECA revenues by
$1,000,000 during the October through March or April through
September period, the City may recompute the Energy Cost Adjustment
and re- establish an ECA that collects or returns such difference
over the next six months of the year. Such change in ECA shall be

I. GENERAL PROCEDURES
A. Application
To determine who qualifies for a rebate, an appli-
cation for rebate must be completed and sent to the
Director of Electric Utilities within 60 days of
installation of the equipment. Participating
dealers have rebate application forms and will
complete these forms for the purchaser. It is the
purchaser's responsibility to see that the dealer
completes the form and submits it to the Director
of Electric Utilities.
B. Inspections
Installations of central systems will be inspected
by the City's Building Inspection Department and
must be approved before rebates will be processed.
C. Payments to Participants
Cash payments will be made to the purchaser of the
qualifying equipment. Participating retail equip-
ment dealers will receive a cash payment of $20 per
unit for the sale of window units, central air con-
ditioning systems, or heat pumps to offset their
cost for properly filling out the applications for
purchasers. Program participants are responsible
for submitting the correct information. The Utili-
ty Department will not issue any additional payment
unless the payment was incorrect due to a mistake
in processing by a City employee.
1. The twenty dollar ($20.00) payments to dealers
will be made only if they supply the qualify-
ing equipment to the customer or builder who
is paying for the installation of the equip-
ment. Dealers and purchasers may be denied
payment for failure to follow program guide-
lines such as: failing to supply correct
square footage or SEER/EER figures; installing
equipment which is not new; replacing part of
PAGE 50
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
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 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 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 in 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 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:
1. Systems using mix-matched coils must meet all
established program guidelines to qualify for
a rebate.
2. The computer simulations must be signed, cer-
tified, and dated by a registered professional
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 accordance with
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 simulated ratings.
PAGE 51
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 multiplying by
the incentive.
The incentive amounts and SEER ratings 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
