National Grid (NG) – Custom Program C&I – Gas and Electric Guidelines and Caps Programs Can Change without Notice 1) Natural Gas Incentives – for customers who pay the System Benefits Charge (SBC): - $2.25 per therm for 1st year energy saved, or 50% of the project cost, whichever is less; also subject to program caps. Simple payback deleted terms deleted 2) Electric Incentives - for customers that pay the SBC: A) Industrial customer with peak demand less than 2 MW and commercial customers under 2 MW: - $0.131 per kwhr lighting and lighting controls incentive - $0.197 per kwhr other electric projects - incentives are limited to 50% of the project cost Simple payback deleted terms deleted B) Industrial customers with a peak demand greater than 2 MW - $0.131 per kwhr lighting and lighting controls incentive - $0.292 per kwhr other electric projects - incentives are limited to 50% of the project cost Simple payback deleted terms deleted Notes: a) Simple Payback before incentive typically needs to be half of the measure life Ex: Motors and VFDs Measure Life = 15 years would need a <7.5 year simple payback before NG incentive. b) Only include the project costs that are necessary for the energy saving, Ex: Don’t include the asbestos abatement in a boiler project. c) When running the Benefit/Cost Screening tool, calculate the average Peak Demand based on electric use during June, July and August between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm d) All projects must be screened and pass National Grid’s custom Benefit/Cost Screening Tool with a B/C>1. e) Normal vs. Retrofit , incentive up to 100% of the incremental cost, including labor can be paid to upgrade from building code minimum or industry standards to high efficiency options. f) Comprehensive Analysis - screen at a measure level and if a measure screens at .85 - .99, it still passes without program costs, the measure then can be combined or packaged with other measures that all BC screen >1. You can not package gas and electric measures.

Normal - National Grid may pay unto 100% of the incremental cost difference between the baseline replacement equipment and the higher efficient equipment, all other caps apply
Weighted average measure life (WAML) = (kWh Saved Yr X ML) + (kWh Saved Yr X ML) + (kWh Saved YR X ML) = kWh, WAML = kWh/Tot kWh Saved Annually
Normal Replacement of functioning equipment past its useful life or planned renovation of space, either in-kind or change of use. NG may pay up to 100% on HVAC measures, PM approval requiredOur BC Screening assumes 15% for program costs on all screening, any measures with a B/C ratio of 0.85 to .99 are assumed to pass screening without program costs
Any measures with a B/C of .85 to .99 can be screened at the project level (with program costs) using a weighted measure life of all ECMs. Weighted measure life is calculated using measure life and energy savings information from each measure

Any measures with a B/C of .85 to .99 can be screened at the project level (with program costs) using a weighted measure life of all ECMs. Weighted measure life is calculated using measure life and energy savings information from each measure Weighted average measure life (WAML) = (kWh Saved Yr X ML) + (kWh Saved Yr X ML) + (kWh Saved YR X ML) = kWh, WAML = kWh/Tot kWh Saved Annually of combined measures
All vending machine & cooler sensors must be installed on vending/cooling equipment scheduled to remain in service for minimum of 3 years. Note 17
Our BC Screening assumes 15% for program costs on all screening, any measures with a B/C ratio of 0.85 to .99 are assumed to pass screening without program costs Normal Replacement - National Grid may pay up to 100% of the incremental cost difference between the baseline replacement equipment and the higher efficient equipment. All program caps apply.

Minimum Eligibility Requirements Custom Lighting*
1) Lighting projects with combined labor and materials cost exceeding $30,000 unless there is a unique or unusual circumstance such as the following:
a) Unique facility lighting requirement, b) Unique hours of operation (typical hours average 4,000 and those that vary from the standard hours for their facility type), c) Unique labor or materials cost (ex: doubling the fixtures to meet lighting requirements) and d) Unique fixture type (obsolete existing fixture, antique replica, etc.)
2) The project’s or fixture(s) type prescriptive calculated incentive is < $.131 per kWh by fixture type by prescriptive code. ($/kWh on the project must be lower or equal to $0.131/kWh) 3) Lighting must meet these requirements a) CEE lamp ballast and lamps criteria (applies to 4 ft fluorescent lights only)
b) For 2x4 and 2x2 recessed fixtures (codes 30A, 30B, 30C, 31, 32 and 34) industrial fixtures (51, 52, 56, 57), wraps and reflector kits (Code 41), Vapor Tights (Code 43), Clean Room (Code 44) must follow prescriptive eligibility criteria Exception prescriptive eligibility criteria a) Facility lighting must average 2,000 per year, except municipal facilities which must average a minimum of 1,000 hours. b) Lighting controls minimum watts save (Min Watts saved)
4) Detailed energy savings analysis including: a) Existing and Proposed fixture type – make, model numbers and performance data of all components b) Floor plan denoting area for existing and proposed fixture locations by zones or areas c) An EXCEL Spreadsheet (unprotected) showing as a minimum existing and proposed fixture, quantities, kWh, kW, labor units (hours and or $), individual fixture, lighting control cost and incremental electric and gas cost. d) Lighting Controls demand (kW) savings will be calculated utilizing either actual data acquisition or by the NYS Technical Manual, DSF on page 114. Lighting energy savings will be calculated using either actual data acquisition or Standard Decrease in Operating Hours (%) where appropriate. Higher percentages of savings due to controls may be considered where non-standard conditions exist. Where a combination control is used the control savings can be combined while accounting for control interactions. Control Type Standard Decrease in Operating Hours (%) Occupancy Sensor 30% Programmable Control 15% Daylight Control 30% Daylight Stepped Control 20% e) Lighting and lighting controls can be screened as a common measure as longs as the total annual kWh savings from lighting controls are 5% or less of the total savings. If the total kWh savings from controls is >5% they will be screened as a separate measure, requiring separate energy savings calculations and lighting controls project cost. f) HVAC kW/kWh savings can be included in the total lighting and lighting controls total kW/kWh savings. The HVAC savings will be calculated utilizing the NYS Technical Manual, page 111 and appendix D. The HVAC heating penalty will be calculated for documentation purposes only. g) Nonqualified lighting and lighting controls will not be incented but the kW and kWh savings calculations are required for screening purposes. The nonqualified lighting and lighting controls savings and project costs are a requirement.
5) Data Acquisition: a) Measure all existing lighting conditions and denote them on a floor plan
b) Verify hours of operation or be able to verify hours of operation in all areas as required by the MRD c) Meter and Verification – Pre and post metering of custom projects as required by the MRD
6) All custom projects will be evaluated on a case by case basis for final approval by the Technical Support Consultant 7) LED Lighting Effective Useful Life (EUL). LED lighting has to be listed on the DLC’s or Energy Star’s most current lists. The lighting EUL is impacted by ambient temperature that they are installed in, so the EUL is 50,000 hours exterior, 35,000 hours interior, NG Approved but unlisted is 25,000 hours and all other lighting is 70,000 hours. Being considerate of the LED EUL impact a project consideration could be to use a weighted average (EUL) measure life.(See internal memo from TC on the DLC decision for LEDs). A weighted average measure life for the entire lighting project could be considered to raise the EUL for the LED selection

BC Screening Methods 1 of 2 07/18/13
Upstate NY – C&I Electric Program BC Screening Method for Equipment 1) Energy Initiative - BC Screening Method: Retrofit
• Applies only to lighting and ECR Motors related measures. • Uses full values of savings and project costs on lighting and lighting related measures.
Lighting controls apply when the lighting controls savings is < then 5% of total lighting project savings (see # 3 below, add-on) .
• Operating hours, lighting type, application (outdoor or indoor) and calculated lighting
measure life is utilized for screening 2) Energy Initiative - BC Screening Method: Early Replacement
• Applies to non-lighting related measures.
• Replacement of equipment before it reaches end of its Effective Useful Life (EUL).
• Projects will follow the Tech Manual Appendix M methodology incorporating Dual Baseline Method of analysis.
• If one cannot document or substantiate the age of the equipment in place is less than
its prescribed EUL, the replacement must be analyzed as normal / end of life replacement.
3) Energy Initiative - BC Screening Method: Add-On
• Add-ons would be enhancing performance of existing equipment by adding devices such as VFD, lighting controls (> 5% savings, see bullet 2, retrofit above), compressed air storage tanks, EMS, etc.
4) Energy Initiative - BC Screening Method: Normal [Formerly Time of Replacement]
• Age of the equipment in place is past its EUL, the replacement must be analyzed as normal / end of life replacement.
• Analysis uses code referenced design criteria or industry standard equipment as
baseline. A code example is the 2010 Energy Conservation construction code of New York, if applicable.
• Required will be the cost and energy usage of Code standard equipment to be used for
the baseline for screening.
• Required cost and energy usage of proposed equipment to be used as EE (proposed) equipment for screening.
BC Screening Methods 2 of 2 07/18/13
The electric (not gas) BC screening tool will automatically calculate the program caps when you select electric program option D2 and Normal Replacement. For gas the 75% incremental costs will have to be calculated by hand.
The BC screening tool will set the incentive at 75% of the incremental not to exceed 50% of the total project/EEM cost where the project cost is the labor and materials for the new high efficiency equipment. All other caps are in place: $/kWh, $/therm, buy down to 1 year payback for commercial /6 month payback for industrial customers or 50% of the total project cost , whichever is the least amount
Note: For more information on Normal Replacement see a document titled : Normal Replacement (Formerly Time of Replacement (TOR)) 07/18/13
5) Energy Initiative - BC Screening Method: Special Circumstances
• Applies to only commercial and industrial machinery and multi-family central systems but not to lighting equipment.
• Customers typically influenced by initial capital outlay more than life cycle economics
due to lack of capital.
• Customers with short time horizons and other factors which tend to prevent long range economic decision making with regard to the installation of high efficiency equipment.
Special Circumstances must follow this five criteria regarding equipment being considered for replacement:
1. Equipment age equals or exceeds 125% of its effective useful life (EUL) and energy consumption significantly exceeds that of current high efficiency models by at least 20%.
2. There is a history of significant repairs or replacement with used equipment 3. The prospective next repair or replacement is likely to be initially much less expensive
than replacement with new high efficiency machinery. 4. Documentation to support above criteria must be collected and attached to the
application in InDemand. 5. Equipment fitting these criteria would be subject to a form of dual baseline TRC
screening. Initial baseline of 25% of new measure’s prescribed EUL. Second baseline consists of 75% remainder based on minimally code compliant or standard efficiency equipment. Under this approach, first year savings would be reported as the difference between the existing equipment’s electric usage and that of the high efficiency equipment which replaces it. Analysis will require use of tables published by PSC under Appendix N to the NY Tech Manual.

Comprehensive Analysis 07/18/11 For Upstate NY C&I Energy Efficiency Screening Comprehensive Analysis allows us to benefit/cost (BC) screen individual EEMs without program costs and bundle EEMs and BC screen with program costs. This opportunity allows us to:
BC screen at individual measure (EEM) level without program costs BC Screen at the project (multiple EEMs) level with program costs Helps to pass measures within a project that might not pass individually if screened
with program costs The BC tool assumes 15% for program costs on all screening Any measures with a BC ratio of 0.85 to .99 are assumed to pass screening without
program costs Any measures with a BC of .85 to .99 can be screened at the project level (with program
costs) using a weighted average measure life (WAML)*of all EEMs WAML is calculated using measure life and energy savings information
from each measure (WAML needs to be calculated by hand – see below) Comprehensive measure codes in the 2011 BC tool allow for screening at measure lives
of 9-18 years PROCESS FOR SCREENING MEASURES UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ANLYSIS Step One - Screen measure (EEM) individually Step Two - If any measure has a BC of 0.85 to <1 then the measure would pass screening if program costs were not included in the BC calculation - Measures with a BC less than .85 cannot be included in the project and cannot be incentivized. - Gas & Electric measure/EEMs cannot be combined in the same project or BC screening Step Three - Screen all the measures with a BC greater than .85 as comprehensive using a weighted measure life of all the ECMs. Incentivize entire project and all ECMs if B/C is >1.
Weighted average measure life needs to be calculated by hand – see below * In the 2011 BC tool chose measure codes CR9 thru CR18 depending on the calculated
WAML, anywhere from 9 -18 years * Example WAML Calculation
ECM (measure life) Energy savings (kWh) ML (years) VSD on vacuum pump (AGI) 21,024 13 Scroll compressor (AGI) 8,338 13 HPS lighting (LGHT) 2,070 15 Total annual savings 31,432 Total life time savings over all measures: (21,024X13) + (8,338X13) + (2070X15) = 412,756 kWh Weighted average measure life = 412,756 / 31,432 = 13.13 years Use measure code CR13 for this project. 16

Rev 02/26/2014 Utility Energy Services Contract 01 27 14.doc
Utility Energy Services Contract 01/27/14 What is UESC? The federal government required all public utilities to participate in the UESC programs. Each Government Entity can have unique requirements so the following list of bullets are generic. For additional information contact your utility’s UESC representative. UESCs are contracts that allow utilities to provide government entities with
comprehensive energy and water efficiency improvements and demand reduction services.
Contract templates can be designed by the government entity Approximately 90 electric and gas utilities have some contracts under the
UESC program UESC Contract are fuel neutral (i.e. any utility can provide electric. gas, or
demand management services) UESC contracts are negotiated and awarded on a sole-source basis. The government entity may provide guidance on the implementation of
each project. Requirements vary by agency. UESC contracts do not require guarantees of performance of the measure
installed (e.g. energy savings). Warranties are passed through. Much Quicker Process then the typical government process Much simpler contracting process Utility incentives benefit the local operation Cost-effective In some cases, tax incentives can be shared with government. Can be Implemented with the UESC Program
Infrastructure (Gas, Electric or Water) Government–owned facilities (e.g. distribution systems on
military bases) Usually up to 20% of utility-owned assets not owned by the
government. Gas or Electric Service

SEMP = Strategic Energy Management Plan 01/30/114
National Grid is piloting a SEMP program.
Businesses or Institution should consider adopting a strategic energy management plan (SEMP), which is a written plan that includes an integrated approach to all aspects of energy and environmental management, including short and long-term reduction strategies.
Strategic planning for a energy management plans can include:
Measure/benchmark current energy consumption. Establishing a baseline against which future reductions will be measured is the important first step
Develop an energy use profile. An energy use profile will demonstrate how energy use is distributed among building systems: heating, water, lighting, office equipment, refrigeration, and so on, as well as identify the energy source for each system.
Complete a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory. It may be optional, but some communities/states require them. Emission reduction can improve client relations.
Build teams, get leadership support, assign dedicated resources. Create a multi-stakeholder sustainability or green team
Set targets/goals. It is important to set both short- and long-term reduction goals for energy and emissions reductions and integrate them into a meaningful and achievable energy management plan.
Develop strategic action plans for improvement. The Roadmap performance improvement measures are a comprehensive list of measures, or projects, designed to help you pick and choose those that can help you meet your goals.
Implement projects. Execute performance improvement measures that will result in energy and emissions reductions for your facility.
Track, measure, and report. It's important to begin to track your energy and environmental reductions for several reasons:
(1) to verify they are meeting the intended goal (2) Track cost, operational and environmental savings (3) Monitor staff satisfaction (4) Report on all successes or failures to leadership, staff and the community to reinforce the
SEMP commitments and progress.
Train and educate. Communicate the need for energy management and providing training and guidance on how to implement SEMP. Train and educate with specific learning objectives and communicate the
valuable work being accomplished.
