Rebate InformationSection 44.1REBATE AVAILABILITYRebate funding for the Program is limited, and applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-servedbasis until all rebate funding is exhausted. After that time, Customers will have the option to be placed ona waiting list in the order requests were received by SRP. Lighting and non-lighting measures may haveseparate rebate budgets. The current availability of rebate funds can be checked atwww.savewithsrpbiz.com or by contacting the Program Administrator. Customers may reserve rebatefunding for the project by submitting a Rebate Reservation Request before purchasing and installingeligible measures.4.2REBATE MINIMUM & CAPSSRP’s Business Solutions programs allow customers to participate in multiple programs subject to therebate minimum and cap established by SRP. The minimum rebate amount per project is 50 for NonLighting Applications and 100 for Lighting Applications. Therefore, the estimated rebate amount perproject (as calculated per the Non-Lighting Application) must be greater than or equal to 50 (or 100 ascalculated per the Lighting Application) to be eligible.The rebate cap is the maximum rebate amount that a customer is eligible to be paid for that programyear. For FY23, the rebate cap is 300,000 per customer per program year for all SRP BusinessSolutions programs. SRP reserves the right to determine at their sole discretion the program year towhich a rebate is attributed.4.3REBATE AMOUNTSThe Rebate Applications provide specific details regarding available measure rebate levels. Please visitwww.savewithsrpbiz.com, contact an Alliance Participant, or contact the Program Administrator for themost recent copies of the Rebate Applications.LightingThe amount of demand reduction achieved through the installation of eligible measures determines therebate for lighting measures. The calculation of demand reduction differs for retrofit and new constructionlighting projects. Below are descriptions of the calculation methods:Retrofits (LED installations only)Subtracting the approved fixture wattage for eligible measures from the baseline fixture wattagecalculates the demand reduction. The baseline lighting equipment in retrofit applications will bedetermined by the type and wattage of existing lighting fixture. Proposed fixture wattages will betaken from the rated wattages for DesignLights Consortium (DLC) or Energy Star (ES) listings.Rebates for retrofit lighting projects offset the costs associated with the one-to-one retrofit offixtures. Decommissioning existing fixtures may be eligible for rebates for the demand reduction ifthe retrofit lighting system is redesigned to completely renovate the space.If the rebate amount in the final application for installed retrofit lighting measures exceeds thepre-approved rebate amount, SRP, at its discretion, may consider payment of rebates up to120% of the pre-approved rebate amount.New ConstructionSubtracting the proposed total installed fixture wattage from the baseline building wattage calculates thedemand reduction. Table 4.1 shows baseline lighting power densities by building type from ASHRAE 90.1FY23 SRP Business Solutions StandardProgram Manual (ver. 20220501)4-1
Rebate InformationSection 4– 2013 for new construction projects. Multiplying the baseline lighting power density by the building arearesults in the baseline building wattage. Proposed fixture wattages will be taken from the rated wattagesfor DesignLights Consortium (DLC) or Energy Star (ES) listings. Equipment installed in facilities includingmore than one building type may differentiate each building type on the Lighting Application. SRP, at itsdiscretion, will make the final determination of the most applicable building type.Table 4.1 ASHRAE 90.1 – 2013 Lighting Power Densities by Building Area TypeBuilding Area TypeW/ft2Building Area TypeW/ft2Automotive Facility0.80Multi-Family0.51Convention Center1.01Museum1.02Court House1.01Office0.82Dining: Bar Lounge/Leisure1.01Parking Garage0.21Dining: Cafeteria/Fast Food0.90Penitentiary0.81Dining: Family0.95Performing Arts Theater1.39Dormitory0.57Police Station0.87Exercise Center0.84Post Office0.87Fire Station0.671Religious ic0.90School/University0.87Hospital1.05Sports Arena0.91Hotel0.87Town Hall0.89Library1.19Transportation0.70Manufacturing on Picture Theater0.76FY23 SRP Business Solutions StandardProgram Manual (ver. 20220501)4-2

If the rebate amount in the LightingApplication for the installed Lighting Measures exceeds the estimated rebate amount provided in a preapproval notification, SRP may consider payment of costs up to 120% of the estimated rebate amount ofthe most recent notification for the specified project site.Upon submittal, SRP will review the final installed measures. SRP may request clarification or additionalinformation (including but not limited to, manufacturer's specification sheets demonstrating that theequipment installed complies with the program requirements), if necessary, to complete the reviewprocess. Customers will have 14 days to respond to such requests. If the clarification or additionalinformation is not forthcoming, SRP may choose to discontinue its evaluation and reject the customer’sapplication or a proposed measure.SRP may also conduct an inspection of the installed lighting measures, at their sole discretion, to verifythe information submitted in the Lighting Application. The post-installation inspection requires thepresence of at least one representative of the customer who is familiar with the installed measures andthe facility so that all parties can identify any discrepancies. If the Program Administrator cannot promptlycomplete the inspection because the representative(s) is unfamiliar with the facility or measures, theproject site will fail the inspection, and SRP may reject the customer’s application.SRP will target completing review activities and issuing rebate payments for any approved, installedmeasure(s) within four (4) to six (6) weeks of receiving notice of measure installation, final LightingApplication, and any subsequently requested supporting information from the customer.
