Title

Rebates/Incentives for Window Replacement (NB)

On February 16^th, 2011, staff recommended to the RUC that a pilot program for energy efficient windows and window film rebates be implemented beginning in FY 2012. Assuming the pilot is successful; these rebates would then be added to the energy efficiency programs.

Explanation

In July of 2006 staff began implementation of an aggressive Energy Efficiency Program. To date numerous programs have been implemented to help achieve maximum cost-effective energy efficiency. In May of 2010 the city commission referred the item to the RUC to investigate the possibility of including an energy efficient window rebate program as part of the residential program offerings.  Staff analyzed the window and window covering rebates using the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test to determine its cost effectiveness.   RUC's recommendation is based on these results.

Fiscal Note

Funds for this recommendation will be included in the FY12 O&M budget proposal.

Recommendation

The City Commission remove item #100008 from the RUC referral list.
