Measure eligibility
With some exceptions, Project Sponsors may propose any measure that:
- Provides measurable and verifiable reductions in electric energy consumption and/or peak demand
- Produces savings through an increase in energy efficiency
- Has a useful life of at least 10 years (except for CFLs)
- Exceeds applicable minimum efficiency standards
The following table lists the program's pre-approved energy efficiency measures.
| End use | Pre-approved energy efficiency measure |
| Cooling | -Constant air volume to variable air volume conversion* -Chiller replacement -Packaged cooling unit replacement -Air-side and water-side economizers* -Fan and pump variable-speed drive installations* -Fan and pump motor efficiency upgrades |
| Lighting |
-High efficiency fluorescent lighting |
| Refrigeration | -Air cooling and refrigeration compressor replacement projects -Refrigerated case doors |
| Industrial process | -Variable-speed drive installations on industrial fans and pumps* -All motor-efficiency upgrade projects |
| *While variable air volume, variable speed drive, and economizer measures may not individually yield substantial savings, these measures may be packaged with other demand-saving measures to meet the minimum project size requirement. | |
Certain types of measures are excluded from consideration in the program; these ineligible measures are those that:
- Involve plug loads (i.e., office equipment), except vending machines
- Involve self-generation or cogeneration, except for renewable technologies
- Involve electric equipment with decoupled self-generation
- Rely on changes in customer behavior and require no capital investment
- Result in negative environmental or heath effects
- Involve fuel-switching to electric
- Involve load shifting
- Receive incentives under any other energy efficiency program offered by CenterPoint Energy
