Typical Small Office Project

This example illustrates a possible scenario that might exist at a small office building.  Simulated existing conditions and sample proposed retrofits are listed with a summary of energy and cost savings below.  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 "Small Business" program.
Existing Interior Lighting Retrofit Interior Lighting
(32) 2'x4', 4 lamp T12 with magnetic ballasts (32) 2'x4', 2-lamp T8 with reduced light output electronic ballasts
(16) 60 watt incandescent downlights (16) 23 watt compact fluorescent downlights
(16) 2'x2', 2 lamp T12 with magnetic ballasts (16) 2'x2', 2 lamp T8 with reduced light output electronic ballasts
Existing Exterior Lighting Retrofit Exterior Lighting
(9) 150 watt incandescent fixtures (9) 42 watt compact fluorescent fixtures
(1) 150 watt high pressure sodium wall pack (1) 42 watt compact fluorescent wall pack
The total annual savings would be approximately 16,100 kWh.  A typical job cost would be about $3,500 and the estimated incentive would be $2,600.  The annual utility cost savings would be approximately $1,280.  If the business was to make these upgrades, the net cost to the customer would be $900 with a simple payback around 9 months.
