Programs
Why Energy Efficiency?
• Money savings• Increased comfort• Conserve natural resources• Cheapest power plant• EPA Regulations?
Home Energy Evaluation
Blower Door Test
Current EKPC DSM Programs• Button-Up Weatherization• HVAC Duct Seal• Heat Pump Retrofit• Touchstone Energy Home• Compact Fluorescent/LED Lighting• C&I Advanced Lighting• Industrial Compressed Air
Button-Up Weatherization
Button-Up Weatherization
• Insulation, air-sealing, windows, etc.• Member may receive up to $1,370 rebate
• Basic Button-up: Pays an incentive for BTUhs saved from insulation, windows, etc. Blower-door test is not required.
• Weatherization with Air Sealing: Encourages members to air seal the envelope of their home in addition to the regular Button-Up improvements.
• Advanced Weatherization Level 2: Level 2 encourages members to address all of their home’s inefficiencies at one time. The resulting BTUh savings can be as much as 150 percent of Level I .
• Advanced Weatherization Level 3: This version represents the highest level. Level 3 also encourages homeowners to address all of their home’s inefficiencies at one time. The resulting BTUh savings can be as much as 200 percent of Button-Up Level I.
HVAC Duct Sealing
HVAC Duct Seal
• Pre and post blower door test performed to verify reductions in leakage of the duct work• All joints in the duct work will be sealed • Duct leakage per system must be reduced to
below 10 percent of the fan’s rated capacity• $250 Incentive
Heat Pump Retrofit
Heat Pump Retrofit
• Replace resistance heat source (i.e. ceiling cable, baseboard or electric furnace) with new air-to-air heat pump, geothermal or mini-split
• Members may receive up to a $1,000 rebate• Specifications:
