21
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Eligibility

A

Old Boiler must be 80% efficient or atmospheric. New Boiler must be 88% efficient or higher. Redundant and backup boilers do not qualify. N-1 Rule - if the contractor installs 2 boilers they get a rebate for 1. If they install 3 boilers they get a rebate for 2.

22
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Requirements

A

Existing boiler has to be 80% efficient or atmospheric. Installed boiler must be used for 80% space heating. Boilers must modulate their firing rate, have a sealed combustion unit, and must incorporate hot water reset.

23
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Pre-Approval

A

All projects exceeding $2500

24
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Pre-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500

25
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Post-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500

26
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Documents

A

Contractor must confirm how many boilers exist, how many they are installing, and how many they are applying for rebates for (n-1 rule)

27
Q

Space Heating Hot Water Boilers - Rebate calculations

A

Rebate is based on mbh of new boiler but can’t exceed capacity of old boiler. (If old boiler is 1000 mbh and new boiler is 1200 mbh rebate is based on old boiler). Because modulating burners are required on new boilers- we can’t incentivize a new boiler and linkageless controls. Must be one or the other.

28
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Eligibility

A

New Boiler must be 81% or higher. Redundant and backup boilers do not qualify. N-1 Rule - if the contractor installs 2 boilers they get a rebate for 1. If they install 3 boilers they get a rebate for 2.

29
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Requirements

A

Existing boiler has to be 80% efficient or atmospheric. Installed boiler must be used for 80% space heating. Boilers must have forced draft and modulate their firing rate.

30
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Pre-Approval

A

All projects exceeding $2500

31
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Pre-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500

32
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Post-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500

33
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Documents

A

Contractor must confirm how many boilers exist, how many they are installing, and how many they are applying for rebates for (n-1 rule)

34
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (300 to 1,500 MBH) - Rebate Calculations

A

Rebate is based on mbh of new boiler but can’t exceed capacity of old boiler. (If old boiler is 1000 mbh and new boiler is 1200 mbh rebate is based on old boiler). Because modulating burners are required on new boilers- we can’t incentivize a new boiler and linkageless controls. Must be one or the other.

35
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Eligibility

A

New Boiler must be 82% or higher. Redundant and backup boilers do not qualify. N-1 Rule - if the contractor installs 2 boilers they get a rebate for 1. If they install 3 boilers they get a rebate for 2.

36
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Requirements

A

Existing boiler has to be 80% efficient or atmospheric. Installed boiler must be used for 80% space heating. Boilers must have forced draft and modulate their firing rate. Boilers with 1500 MBH or more must have 3 or more firing rates.

37
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Pre-Approval

A

All projects exceeding $2500.

38
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Pre-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500.

39
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Post-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500.

40
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Documents

A

Contractor must confirm how many boilers exist, how many they are installing, and how many they are applying for rebates for (n-1 rule)

41
Q

Space Heating Steam Boilers (1,500+ MBH) - Rebate Calculation

A

Rebate is based on mbh of new boiler but can’t exceed capacity of old boiler. (If old boiler is 1000 mbh and new boiler is 1200 mbh rebate is based on old boiler). 1500+ MBH must have 3 firing rates and have a higher min efficiency than under 1500. Because modulating burners are required on new boilers- we can’t incentivize a new boiler and linkageless controls. Must be one or the other.

42
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Eligibility

A

The building is eligible if they don’t currently have averaging controls or their controls can’t provide a night time set back.

43
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Requirements

A

New controls must have a night time set back of 5 degrees. They also must have the correct number of sensors. Buildings with 12 or fewer units need to have 4 sensors, 13 to 48 units must have 5 or sensors in 25% of the units whichever is greater, 49+ units are capped at 12 sensors.

44
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Pre-Approval

A

All projects exceeding $2500 and projects with 2 pipe steam.

45
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Pre-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500 and projects with 2 pipe steam.

46
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Post-Inspection

A

All projects exceeding $2500

47
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Documents

A

For payment approval - we need to verify how many sensors were installed and make sure it meets the minimum for the size of the building. This will likely be found in the specs sheets but also may be documented via the post inspection. Trade Allies also must note where the sensors are located. We also need to verify that the building does not have thermostatic controls on the radiators.

48
Q

Central Steam Boiler Controls - Rebate calculation

A

Rebate is based on the number of living units and if the building has a 1 or 2 pipe steam boiler.
