2 Contents 2 Standard Incentives Common energy-efficiency measures and retrofits with pre-determined incentives and estimated energy savings. Standard incentive projects do not require additional energy analysis or pre-qualification. Some of these incentives may have specific eligibility requirements. 14 Lighting Incentives All lighting projects must be pre-qualified for Energy Trust incentives before purchase and installation. 15 Custom Incentives Energy-efficiency equipment not included on the standard incentives list may be eligible for custom incentives. Custom incentives require an energy analysis or other technical assistance in the project design process, plus pre-qualification before purchase and installation. 16 Solar Incentives Energy Trust offers incentives for solar electric systems that produce electricity for use in your building. Specific eligibility requirements apply.

3 Standard Incentives Staying competitive means businesses of all sizes need to look for ways to stretch every dollar. Improving the energy efficiency of your facility and operations is one important way you can lower operating costs and save money, while enhancing employee and customer comfort. Energy Trust of Oregon offers incentives to reduce your upfront costs and make energy-efficiency upgrades more affordable. And because energy savings often pay for the improvements in just a few years, you get a high return on your investment. Plus, by installing upgrades that reduce energy use, you can continue to save energy and money down the road. Are You Eligible? Energy Trust Existing Buildings incentives are available for qualifying energy-efficiency upgrades and retrofits to commercial, municipal, educational and institutional customers served by Energy Trust. To qualify, you must typically: Have a project site in Oregon served by and on a qualifying rate schedule for Portland General Electric or Pacific Power for electric-saving incentives. Have a project site in Oregon served by and on a qualifying rate schedule for NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas for gas-saving incentives. Be improving an existing structure. Pay the public purpose charge; check your bill or contact Energy Trust if you have questions. Additional eligibility requirements may apply, depending on your project. Incentives are subject to funding availability and may change. Easy Steps to Savings Purchase and install the qualified equipment. Submit a signed application within 90 days of installation. Include with your application: Itemized invoice and any specification sheets you have. Copy of your utility bill. Completed W-9 form. A post-installation verification may be required. With You All the Way Energy Trust will work with you to see your upgrade through. We can help you purchase the most energy-efficient equipment for your facility. We have a list of licensed and insured trade ally contractors who are familiar with the latest energy-efficiency standards and equipment. They can even help you with your Energy Trust incentive application. Bring Us In Learn more about Energy Trust incentives and how they can help you build energy efficiency into your business.

15 Lighting Incentives Lighting in commercial buildings can account for nearly 35 percent of electric use, which can have a big effect on your bottom line. Upgrading lighting with new energy-efficient light sources, fixtures and controls can save energy and improve lighting quality. Lighting improvements can even pay for themselves in energy savings in a few years. Energy Trust makes incentives available for energy-efficient lighting upgrades. T12 Fluorescent Fixture, T12 to High Performance T8 and Electronic Ballast T8 Fluorescent to Reduced Wattage T8 T12 or T8 Fluorescent to Reduced Wattage T8 Kit or Fixture Exit Sign Upgrades to LED Incandescent Upgrades to CFL, Cold Cathode or LED Additional or Upgraded Lighting Controls Fluorescent Fixture Upgrades to LED Fixture or Retrofit Kit Exterior and Parking Garage HID Lighting to LED Fixtures or Retrofit Kits Additional requirements apply. All lighting projects must be reviewed and pre-qualified by a program representative to be eligible for Energy Trust incentives. Energy Trust s Performance+ helps commercial customers find even deeper energy savings by taking a whole-building look at existing lighting. Performance+ projects go beyond Illuminating Engineering Society, IES, recommended light levels and can receive additional incentives based on how far they exceed lighting power density recommendations from IES. Performance+ projects take an integrated approach to lighting design that makes greater use of controls and building resources. Additional product information and criteria are available on the Lighting Program Information Sheet (PI 190L). Equipment not listed on the PI 190L may be eligible under the custom lighting offer. Each custom lighting measure (including controls) must also be reviewed and pre-qualified by Energy Trust. An Existing Buildings representative can help you pre-qualify your project for incentive eligibility before you purchase or install your equipment.

16 Custom Incentives Energy-efficient equipment not featured in this brochure may still be eligible for custom incentives. Projects eligible for custom incentives typically require additional energy analysis or other technical assistance in the project design process. All equipment purchases must be pre-qualified by Energy Trust. In addition, a post-installation verification may be required. Energy savings through a custom project typically include the following steps: 1. Analysis. A technical analysis is obtained on the potential energy-saving upgrades at the site and the analysis is provided to Energy Trust. 2. Review. Energy Trust technical staff reviews the analysis to ensure that savings estimates appear reasonable and potential upgrades meet cost-effectiveness criteria. 3. Offer. Energy Trust provides a cash incentive offer for qualifying upgrades to be paid upon completion. 4. Installation. Your contractor installs the upgrades and provides final paid invoices and other documentation that Energy Trust will review to verify that the project is complete. 5. Payment. Energy Trust reviews the documentation and, if it is complete and acceptable, provides your custom project incentive check. In some cases, a post-installation verification may be required.

17 Solar Incentives Energy Trust offers incentives for solar electric systems that produce electricity for use in your building. Businesses must work with an approved Energy Trust solar trade ally contractor to qualify for incentives. The solar trade ally will handle all the paperwork, including submission of the Energy Trust application. 1. Assess. Request a preliminary solar assessment from one or more solar trade ally contractors to determine the size, savings, incentives and financial return for the project. 2. Commit. Select a trade ally to design and install the system. The contractor will submit an incentive application to Energy Trust before starting construction on the solar equipment. 3. Review. Energy Trust staff review the application and project design. 4. Offer. Energy Trust provides an incentive offer for qualified projects. 5. Installation. The solar trade ally installs the system and coordinates a post-installation verification by Energy Trust. 6. Payment. After successful verification, Energy Trust sends the incentive check.
