Typical Elementary
School Project
|
| This example illustrates a possible scenario that might
exist at an elementary school. Simulated existing conditions and sample
proposed retrofits are listed with example calculations of energy savings,
incentives, and simple payback. The data given below is not necessarily
indicative of what you may see at your site, but can be reviewed to
understand how the program will operate and the potential value of the "CitySmart"
program. |

| The total annual savings would be approximately 63,044 kWh,
resulting in an estimated $5,044 in annual utility savings. The estimated
cost of this project (using the above simulation) is $20,250, with an
estimated incentive of $6,935. If the facility was to make these upgrades,
the net project cost to the customer (after incentive) would be $13,315,
yielding an approximate 2.6 year payback. |

| This example illustrates a possible scenario that might
exist at a reasonably large wastewater facility. Simulated existing
conditions and sample proposed retrofits are listed with example
calculations of energy savings, incentives, and simple payback. The data
given below is not necessarily indicative of what you may see at your site,
but can be reviewed to understand how the program will operate and the
