Energy Efficient Home FY2015

Transcription

1 Energy Efficient Home FY2015 An Energy Conservation Program The Utility is currently offering technical energy conservation assistance to our customers who are building Energy Efficient Electrically Heated Homes. By analyzing your house plans we can calculate the heat loss, and by using local weather data, estimate the heating bill. We can also help design the Mission Valley Power Energy Efficient Home, which will insure maximum comfort and minimum heating cost. This service is available for houses whose main heating source is some form of electric heat, including furnaces, baseboard heaters, wall heaters, electric boilers & heat pumps, and may have a secondary heating source in some cases direct vent wood and propane stoves/fireplaces. Log homes are not eligible. If your house achieves the required energy savings you may qualify for the Mission Valley Power Energy Efficient Home program. Plan Submittal Please provide the following prior to construction: 1. House plans floor plans, wall sections, elevation, site plan with orientation direction of home. 2. Window and door schedules type (glazing, coating, frame), rough opening dimensions, Model # s, U-Values if known. 3. Ventilation and heating system size and layout.
