2 A. SCREW-IN COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS (CFLS) Must replace incandescent lamps. No rebates will be paid for fixtures that have previously received a rebate in this category (exceptions may apply). If a facility has received rebates in the past for this measure, it is subject to pre-inspection if requesting rebates for additional CFLs. Replacement CFLs may be self-ballasted, modular (lamp with ballast adapter), or cord and plug retrofit kits. All self-ballasted lamps must have electronic ballasts and be ENERGY STAR -qualified. Modular units 15 Watts must have electronic ballasts. For all units, lamp/ballast efficacy must meet these requirements: Lamp Power & Configuration Minimum Efficacy (Lumens Per Watt, Based on Initial Lumen Data) Bare Lamp Power < Lamp: Lamp Power Covered Lamp Lamp Power < (no reflector): Lamp Power 15 and < Lamp Power 19 and < Lamp Power Covered Lamp Lamp Power < (with reflector): Lamp Power In addition, when replacing the following wattages of incandescent lamps, all replacement Bare Lamp CFLs must have the following Minimum Lumen Output (shown on the manufacturer s specification sheet): Wattage of A-Shaped CFL Minimum Lumen Output Incandescent Bulb (based on 100 hr. initial values) 40 Minimum of Minimum of Minimum of 1, Minimum of 1, Minimum of 2,600 B. COMPACT AND LINEAR FLUORESCENT FIXTURES Only complete new fixtures or modular retrofits with hardwired ballasts qualify. New fixtures must replace an incandescent fixture or mercury vapor fixture. All ballasts must be electronic. CFLs/ballasts must meet the same efficacy requirements as in category A. CFL ballasts must be Programmed-start or Programmed Rapid-start with PF 0.90 and THD 20%.

T8 OR T5 LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS WITH ELECTRONIC BALLASTS Rebate applies to existing T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts that are either delamped or replaced by T8 or T5 lamps with the electronic ballasts described below. Delamping is the permanent removal of existing T12 lamps/ballasts and unused lampholders from existing fixtures without replacing the lamps. To receive credit for delamping, customers must remove not more than half of the existing lamps/ballasts (along with lampholders) from each fixture. The total number of lamps claimed for delamping may not be more than the number of replacement T8 or T5 lamps installed. Customers are responsible for deciding whether delamping will maintain adequate light levels. Replacement T5 lamps in low bay installations (under 15') must provide indirect lighting only. Electronic ballasts must be high frequency ( 20 khz), UL-listed ballasts that are warranted against mechanical or electrical defects for five years, and have PF At full light output, ballasts for 4-foot and 8-foot lamps must have THD 20%, while ballasts for 2-foot lamps must have THD 32%. For T8 lamp installations, Instant Start and Programmed Start/Programmed Rapid-start Ballasts, described below, all qualify. Programmed Start/Programmed Rapid-start ballasts must be used for T5 lamp installations. Submit the manufacturer s ballast specification sheet with your rebate form. The specification sheet must document the characteristics listed below for each ballast type. Ballasts earning rebates in this category are not eligible for rebates in categories B & D. Instant Start Ballasts When T8 lamps are being installed for general illumination purposes, Instant Start ballasts must be used. TERMS AND CONDITIONS Programmed Start/Programmed Rapid-start Ballasts When occupancy sensors are installed to control circuits in lamp/ballast retrofits, Programmed Start/Programmed Rapid-start ballasts are recommended. Category E Occupancy Sensor rebates may also apply. All replacement lamps must meet the following CRI and Rated Lamp Life standards: Lamp Type & Size Ballast Type CRI Minimum Rated Lamp Life (3 hours/start) T8 2 ft, 4-ft Programmed Start/ 80 24,000 hours Programmed Rapid-start T8 2 ft, 4-ft, 8-ft Instant Start 80 18,000 hours T5 2 ft, 4-ft, 8-ft Programmed Start/ 82 20,000 hours Programmed Rapid-start Replacement lamps earning rebates in this category are not eligible for rebates under categories B or D. D. INTERIOR HIGH BAY LINEAR FLUORESCENT FIXTURES Only complete new 4-lamp or 6-lamp fixtures qualify. Must use T8 or T5 lamps and ballasts as specified in categories B & C. New fixture must replace, one for one, existing incandescent, T12/PG17 fluorescent or High Intensity Discharge (HID) fixtures in interior high bay installations (over 15'). Existing fixtures must be 400 Watts each. All fixtures must have a reflector with a minimum of 90% reflectivity. Exterior installations (roadway, street lighting, outdoor area, and parking lot lighting) do not qualify. Fixtures in this category are not eligible for additional rebates under categories B & C. E. OCCUPANCY SENSORS This rebate applies to passive infrared and/or ultrasonic detectors only. Wallbox and wall- or ceiling-mounted lighting sensors must be hardwired and control interior fixtures.

Manufacturer s information stating the model number and ENERGY STAR qualification or other qualifying specification sheet must be submitted with each rebate form. New exit signs must meet local fire codes. Retrofit kits are not eligible. G. PACKAGE TERMINAL AIR CONDITIONERS AND PACKAGE HEAT PUMPS Package terminal air conditioners (PTAC) and Package terminal heat pumps (PTHP) are through-the-wall, self-contained units and are 2 tons (24,000 Btu/hr) or less. Only those units that have an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) that is 20% higher than the minimum are eligible. Minimum EER is calculated from the following equation: Min EER = (0.16 x 1,000) (capacity in Btu/hr*) *If the capacity is less than 7,000 Btu/hr, use 7,000. If the capacity is >15,000 Btu/hr, use 15,000. H. SETBACK PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS Must automatically adjust the temperature setting of your heating and air conditioning system at pre-selected times to make sure energy is consumed only when needed. Must have automatic setback feature. The system fan switch must have an on feature that circulates air continuously.
