Up to $5,000 Towards Enhanced Equipment Metering
For projects participating in the Small Building Tune-up (SBT) and Large Building Tune-up (LBT) Programs, Up to $5,000 (per project) is available for additional equipment-level metering installed to baseline the equipment before and after the tune-up to verify savings. Project pre-approval is required.
For Pre-Approval submit the following information to the program:
- Complete the Small Building Tune-up or Large Building Tune-up Application (if not already done so)
- Identify savings measure(s) that will be metered, the anticipated calculated savings for each measure, and what metering equipment will be used and the placement of the metering equipment
- Provide the Pre- and Post- metering plan for each measure. Minimum of 30 days of pre-measurement data before the measure is implemented and 30 days of post measurement data after the measure is implemented is required. The pre- and post-measurement data must be continuous.
The Enhanced Equipment Incentive is paid when the program receives an EXCEL file of the pre- and post- (hourly) electrical consumption data and the project has met the Small Building Tune-up and Large Building Tune-up Program requirements.
