Custom incentives

Equipment upgrades
Equipment upgrades are considered custom when they are outside the scope found on the equipment incentive list and can achieve verifiable electricity usage reduction. These include lighting upgrades for 24/7 operations and special case scenarios, building automation system upgrades, premium efficiency motor and variable frequency drive installations and more. All custom projects require pre-approval that most likely includes a pre-installation site visit prior to moving forward with purchasing equipment or implementation.
