Energy Efficiency Projects
Certain energy-efficient measures can qualify for Tier II AECs. Energy-efficient measures are outlined in the PUC’s Technical Reference Manual (TRM) for both residential and commercial projects. Several eligible energy efficiency measures are:
- Lighting retrofits including controls
- HVAC systems
- Chillers
- Geothermal Heat Pumps
Tier II AECs for energy efficient measures are generated based on the savings between an inefficient technology and the new efficient technology. The eligibility period for energy efficiency measures varies by measure. For example, an HVAC can claim savings for 15 years from the date of the completion of the retrofit.
Pre-Retrofit kWhrs Less Post-Installation kWhrs= Energy Savings kWhrs
Please see the Energy Efficiency Overview for additional information and application directions.
