PROCESS EFFICIENCY SPECIFICATIONS

Qualifications for Process Efficiency ProjectsProcess Efficiency project incentives are based on energy (kWh) savings over the first 12 months after installation and commissioning is complete. Eligible projects must result from a permanent facility improvement that results in a permanent reduction in electrical (kWh) energy usage due to an improvement in system efficiency. Process Efficiency Measure Examples2

• Compressed air controls• Variable-speed HE, multiplex or low-temperature

compressors• Process chillers• Cool roof• High-performance glazing3

• Improved ceiling insulation3

• Industrial process equipment• Injection molding equipment• Advanced lighting controls

Payback should generally be between 1 to 7 years for Process Efficiency incentives.

Projects that are NOT eligible for a Process Efficiency incentive include:• Projects eligible for Efficient Products for Business

incentives• Fuel switching• Low/no-cost operational, maintenance or control changes• On-site electricity generation• Projects that involve peak-shifting (and not kWh savings)• Renewable energy• Other non-eligible measures as determined by AEP Ohio

(these changes may qualify under AEP Ohio’s RCX or CEI Programs)

Energy-Savings CalculationsDetailed engineering calculations, in executable format, using industry-standard engineering algorithms and procedures from recognized technical organizations, such as American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), etc., or an independent certified testing lab orsimulation models that document the annual total energy

savings and on-peak demand savings, for both AEP and PJM, must accompany Process Efficiency applications. The applicant must submit calculations and methods used to derive the savings, along with all assumptions such as operating hours, and existing and proposed equipment operational details used in the calculations. Include the documented source for these assumptions. Use rated performance factors tested under accepted procedures specified by recognized rating agencies such as Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), ANSI, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), etc. Provide an explanation when equipment-performance rating conditions vary from standard conditions.

AEP Ohio will review the submittal. AEP Ohio is solely responsible for the final determination of the annual energy savings used to calculate the incentive amount. AEP Ohio may need to conduct inspections both before and after the retrofit projects to verify items such as but not limited to equipment, schedules, production and operating conditions. AEP Ohio also reserves the right to require specific measurement and verification activities, including monitoring both before and after the retrofit, applying the appropriate option per International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) to estimate energy savings for the project and to base the incentive payment on the results of these activities.

The program team may be able to assist in calculating savings. Please contact the team for more details.

Submit with ApplicationThe following serves as guidelines for the minimum required documentation. In support of the calculations, provide all documentation that outlines the basis for the savings estimates. The documentation must provide information on the equipment operating schedule, daily and seasonal load profile, and baseline along with energy-efficient equipment performance at the operating loads. Typical documentation for Process Efficiency projects often includes:• Baseline/existing and proposed equipment make and model• numbers, including operating voltage and rated full-load

amps• Existing equipment condition and age• Engineering or architectural drawings and equipment

schedule sheets• Verification that all equipment purchased for Process

Efficiency projects is new• Component specifications that include part-load efficiency or

performance factors• Spreadsheet calculations or executable model following the

energy-saving calculation requirements• Log sheets, trend logs from a building management system

or other operating documentation that often are necessary to document operating hours and equipment loading, and are used as a basis for the calculations (In some cases, short-term monitoring may be required to document the load profile.)

• Control sequence of operations that are necessary where controls play a part in the savings equation

• Process flow diagrams for all process applications• Annual production data for the equipment/system(s)

included in the project, for all process application; if monitoring data is used, supply daily production data during the monitoring periods

Additional documentation, other than that described in the application, may be required for program participation. Larger projects also may require pre- and post-project sub-metering or monitoring of loads and/or power input as part of anothermeasurement and verification activity to demonstrate the actualenergy savings realized.

Baseline for Process Efficiency AnalysisIn situations where equipment is replaced prior to the end of its rated service life (generally more than 5 years) in order to achieve energy savings, it is permissible to use the existingequipment performance as the baseline for the energy-savings calculations. In situations where equipment is replaced due to failure or for other reasons (such as obsolescence or a need for more capacity), the baseline performance used in the savings calculations should reflect either the minimum performance required by federal or local energy code for that equipment type and application (where a code applies) or industry standard practice when a code does not apply.

Lighting Controls That Exceed Code Requirements Daylight Dimming SystemThis measure applies to daylight sensor controls in spaces with suitable available ambient light for at least part of the day. Light may be through skylights, clerestories, windows or “light tubes.” Applicable controls include on/off, stepped or continuous dimming. The on/off controller should turn off artificial lighting when the interior illuminance meets the desired indoor lighting level. The stepped controller generally dims the artificial lighting 50% when the interior illuminance levels reach 50% of the desired lighting level. Continuous or dimming controllers dim artificial lighting proportionally to the available ambient light. Commissioning is required for all types of daylight sensor controls in order to ensure proper sensor calibration and energy savings. Lighting control options cannot be double-counted.

Required documentation:• Cut sheets/submittals of lighting equipment and control systems• Lighting layout and a lighting schedule such that the lighting

system and controlled fixtures can be accurately calculated and verified

• Completed functional tests or letter of completion from commissioning agent; verifying the functionality of daylighting controls may require a post-installation inspection

Lighting Power DensityThe lighting power density (LPD) incentive compares the lighting power installed to the lighting power allowed by code. Incentives are available for systems in which the installed lighting power is at least 10% lower than the code-allowed power and are capped at a 50% reduction from the code-allowed power.

Savings are based on the LPD calculated on a watts-per-square- foot or watts-per-linear-foot basis, depending on the space type. Incentives apply only to the area of the building in which the lighting installation is complete and ready for occupancy. If a portion of a building is not built-out such that the lighting in an area is incomplete or not ready for occupancy, that portion is ineligible for an incentive. Baseline LPD is American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1-2007. Use either the Building Area method or Space-by- Space method to calculate the LPD for the purposes of the incentive.

Required documentation:• Lighting worksheet• COMcheck Lighting Compliance Certificate• Electrical plan sheets showing lighting fixture layout• Lighting fixture schedule sheet including fixture counts• Fixture submittal or specification sheets showing model number

and rated fixture wattages

If building/space type is not listed above, please reference ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Table 9.4.5 and supply LPD analysis information separately.
