T-12s: Standard Rebate for all T-12 retrofit and new
fixture replacements will be significantly reduced, due to
federal energy efficiency standards.
LEDs: Exterior LED and induction lighting rebate will
likely decrease from current rate of $0.30 per kWh saved
to $0.20 per kWh saved.
Natural Gas: Custom Rebate rate may be reduced to
$2.00 per therm saved.

MINI-RCX
The Mini‐RCx program was
developed to provide additional
services for public sector facilities
that are not eligible for the
traditional retro-commissioning
program. The intention is to identify
readily achievable savings
opportunities through a quick
review of energy use and system
settings.
