Dominion North Carolina Power - Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Programs

March 25, 2015

Summary

 Dominion Virginia Power provides a number of rebates to customers for the installation of energy efficient equipment and measures. Incentives are available for Energy Audit, Duct Sealing, Lighting, Window Film, HVAC, and Distributed Generation.

 The Non-Residential Energy Audit program provides an on-site analysis of energy use, a custom report with upgrade recommendations, financial incentives that cover approved measures, access to prequalified contractors and equipment installation at the convenience of the customer. Areas of focus are in CPU Power Management, Vending Machine Controller (Cold Drink), Refrigeration Retrocommissioning, Display Case Lighting Control. Refrigeration Pressure Improvement, Auto-Closers on Main Freezer Doors and Zero-Heat Reach-In Glass Doors. Customers addressing inefficiency in these areas will be provided an incentive to help cover the cost of recommended upgrades. The average incentive amount provided under this program is $1,800. 

Non residential customers also provided rebates for testing and sealing leaky air ducts. Systems evaluated will include air handlers, air intake, return and supply plenums, and any connecting duct work. Incentives vary depending on the unit size of their HVAC system. Rebates range from $75/ton - $90/ton.

Additional incentives are available for installing solar reduction window film. These films reduce the solar radiation passed in through the windows, which in turn lowers stress on HVAC equipment on heating degree days. Rebates are calculated based on rated SHGC improvement and total installed per sq. ft.
