4 1 About This Program The Consumers Energy Business Solutions Program is a comprehensive suite of energy efficiency programs created to assist commercial and industrial businesses increase their energy optimization, lower their energy usage, and lower their cost of operation. A wide variety of energy efficiency rebates are available to help business owners reduce the initial cost of installing new energy efficient equipment in their facilities. An overview of the various program offerings is summarized below. The sections that follow provide detailed information on the actual incentives and specific program details related to each of the various offerings. Application forms for all programs are available on the Consumers Energy web site: ConsumersEnergy.com/mybusiness. All applicants are urged to download and review the Policies and Procedures Manual located online. Prescriptive Incentives These incentives are available for energy efficiency equipment upgrades and improvements including categories such as: Lighting/ Electrical, Mechanical, Kitchen/Refrigeration and Building Envelope. Incentives are paid based on either quantity, size or the efficiency of the equipment. Incentives are provided for qualified equipment commonly installed in a retrofit or equipment replacement situation. The total calculated incentive cannot exceed 75 percent of the project cost (as described on page 5 in Prescriptive Project Incentive Caps). Full details of the measures and equipment specifications are detailed in this catalog. Custom Incentives These incentives are available to customers for less common or more complex energy saving measures installed in qualified retrofit and equipment replacement projects that are not covered by the prescriptive incentive portion of the program. Custom incentives are paid based on the first- year energy savings (kwh or MCF). Applicants have the option to apply for a custom incentive for projects that involve an integrated solution with both prescriptive and custom incentives. Custom incentives include measures that result in a reduction in electric and/or natural gas energy usage because of an improvement in system efficiency (i.e., a net decrease in energy use without a reduction in the level of service). The applicant must provide sufficient technical information, equipment performance data, operating assumptions, measurements and calculations to support the energy savings estimates. The decision as to whether or not an improvement is eligible for a custom incentive is within the sole discretion of Consumers Energy. Examples of custom projects include, but are not limited to, the following: Process improvements Water-side economizer Process exhaust heat recovery Constant volume to variable volume water Variable-speed control on motors (greater than 250) Upgrade of a refrigeration compressor Complex air compressor improvements Tank insulation

5 2 New Construction Program The New Construction Program provides an array of electric and natural gas incentives for commercial and/or industrial customers who design and construct their facilities with energy-efficient equipment that exceeds standard building practices. Through early involvement in new construction or major renovation projects the program team can assist in design decisions to impact the overall building energy efficiency. Program staff will provide an engineering review of projects that are currently in the design stages to target financial incentive opportunities for customers and design teams. The program works with design professionals to influence prospective building owners and developers to construct high-performance buildings that provide improved energy efficiency, systems performance and comfort. Incentives can be pursued through either a Prescriptive/Custom application or a Whole Building Design application. Incentive Options: Prescriptive/Custom Application Customers can choose from a prescriptive assortment of measures with set incentives Incentives available for only the facility owner Whole Building Design Application Performance energy modeling analysis demonstrating significant improvement in the proposed building design compared to the program baseline standard Incentives available for both the facility owner and design team Eligibility: Projects must result in a facility improvement with a permanent reduction in electrical (kwh) and/or natural gas (MCF) energy usage above baseline practices The project MUST be in the design phase when submitting the pre-notification application The new construction/major renovation project must meet one of the following definitions: New building projects wherein no structure or site footprint presently exists Addition or expansion of an existing building or site footprint Major tenant improvements that change the use of the space Agriculture Program The Agriculture Program assists Michigan farmers, growers and producers by offering incentives for the completion of energy efficiency audits and projects. This program will incentivize the customer portion of an MSU/REAP energy audit payment for a USDA Tier II audit. The Consumers Energy Business Solutions team will review the results of the audit to provide guidance to the customer on applying for Prescriptive or Custom incentives.

8 5 Incentive Caps And Limits Incentives are subject to limits in order to encourage equitable distribution of the funds among as many Consumers Energy customers as possible. Incentive caps are annual, and are calculated based upon which program year the incentive is paid to the customer. Customer Limits The amount of incentives a facility or customer can receive is limited. A facility is defined as contiguous property for which a single customer is responsible for paying the Consumers Energy electricity and/or natural gas bill. A customer is defined as the organization under which the company (or companies) are owned or operated, regardless of who is responsible for paying the bill. Program year incentive limits are per facility for custom incentives as shown below. Prescriptive Incentives 100 percent of the calculated incentive up to $200,000 per facility 50 percent of the calculated incentive above $200,000 per facility 75 percent of the total project cost Custom Incentives 100 percent of the calculated incentive up to $200,000 per facility 50 percent of the calculated incentive above $200,000 per facility 50 percent of the total project cost Customer Incentive Limit $1,000,000 across all facilities per customer Large Gas Customers $100,000 per facility (>100,000 MCF/yr. usage) (Only applies to gas incentives) Prescriptive Incentive Caps The amount of a prescriptive incentive cannot exceed 75 percent of the cost of the project. Project costs may include the labor necessary to install the measure, and costs related with the disposal of the removed equipment. Internal labor costs may not be included in the total project cost. The customer is responsible for providing sufficient documentation to validate the project costs. Manufacturer, vendor, distributor, trade ally or contractor provided incentives (credits, deductions, refunds, etc) must be subtracted from the total installation costs. Prescriptive Incentives 100 percent of the calculated incentive up to $200,000 per facility 50 percent of the calculated incentive above $200,000 per facility 75 percent of the installation cost Custom Incentive Caps & Calculation For custom projects, project incentives cannot exceed 50 percent of the total custom project cost for purchasing and installing energy efficiency measures. The project cap applies to the whole project. Internal customer labor costs cannot be included in the total project cost. Consumers Energy reserves the right to apply this cap to individual custom measures when measure costs are significantly higher than typical costs seen in this program. Manufacturer, vendor, distributor, trade ally or contractor provided incentives (credits, deductions, refunds, etc) must be subtracted from the total installation costs. The payback period for Custom Incentives has to be between one and eight years. The total calculated incentive cannot exceed 50 percent of the measure cost Payback period is calculated with the following equation: Simple Payback Period = Cost (Annual kwh Saved x Electricity Rate) + (Annual MCF Saved x Natural Gas Rate) The Incremental Cost (IMC) is the cost of implementing a measure; less any costs that would have been incurred by the applicant to achieve all of the project benefits, other than those resulting in the incented energy savings. The IMC can either be the incremental equipment cost or the full cost of a measure; and is determined by the cost basis. The cost basis is derived from the type of measure in the application (retrofit, replace on burnout, or new) and (b) whether the measure is displacing existing technology, being installed in absence of any existing technology, or is an alternative to a competing technology. In general, new construction and replace on burnout measures

9 6 use the incremental equipment cost as the IMC. For retrofit measures, the full cost is typically used as the IMC such as in the case where a customer installs a new technology such as an LED exit sign in place of an existing incandescent exit sign. Custom Incentives 100 percent of the calculated incentive up to $200,000 per facility 50 percent of the calculated incentive above $200,000 per facility, 50 percent of the installation cost. New Construction Incentive Caps New Construction projects are subject to the same customer caps and limits, prescriptive incentive caps, and custom incentive caps set forth above. Not all prescriptive measures are eligible for participation in the New Construction program. Eligible measures are identified in the program application and the measure specifications.

Sensors must control exterior lighting fixtures, must be hardwired, and can be a passive-infrared occupancy sensor or microwave occupancy sensor The sensors must reduce fixture output to use no more than 50 percent of full power Exterior Multi-Step Dimming Timer Controls Stepped dimming timer controls consist of an automatic (digital) lighting system on a building s exterior that operates at full power and full light output during periods of higher traffic and at a reduced power level and reduced light output during periods of lower traffic. The installation of a new time clock system featuring no multistep dimming capabilities does not qualify During low traffic periods, fixture must use no more than 50 percent of a full rated power Fixtures must be at low power at least 5 hours per night Cannot be combined with the Exterior Multi-Step Dimming Occupancy Sensor measure

19 16 Non-Defined Lighting These measures apply to new lighting fixture change-outs and/or retrofits that do not fall into one of the other prescriptive lighting categories offered. A separate Non-Defined Lighting form is required for each area (office, production, office, etc.) receiving the lighting upgrade. These measures are part of a capital investment project that results in energy savings and is not easily reversible. s that include an overall lighting fixture energy efficiency improvement, but not a lumen per watt lamp efficiency improvement, can be submitted as a custom measure. If applicable, all proposed technologies utilized in the non-defined lighting section must meet the requirements for any prescriptive measure featuring those same technologies. Additionally, for technologies that feature certification and/or approval from ENERGY STAR, Design Lights Consortium, or the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, the installed product must be approved by the appropriate certifying body or meet minimum requirements. Installation of T8 equipment that is not approved by CEE as or RW do not qualify for this incentive. Retrofit of existing T12 fluorescent lighting systems with T5 fluorescent lighting systems is not eligible for this incentive. Lumens per Watt Improvement Energy Conservation Improvement Lumens per Watt Improvement kwh kwh The rated mean efficacy of the existing lighting system increases by a minimum of 5 percent and results in the total lighting wattage being reduced. If no mean efficacy is available on the products literature, a degradation factor will be assessed via table 2. The simple payback period must be greater than one year and less than or equal to eight years The incentive cannot exceed 50 percent of the measure cost Energy Conservation Improvement The rated mean efficacy of the existing lighting system changes less than 5 percent and results in the total lighting wattage being reduced.
