A Pre-Application is required for all NLC projects seeking incentives.

In addition to a complete and signed Pre-Application form and W-9, the package must include: • Baseline/Existing reflected ceiling plan (for indoor)• Baseline/Existing Lighting inventory spreadsheet

- Existing fixture descriptions i.e. 2LT8 32W, 400W MH, etc. - Existing fixture operating schedule & control strategy - Existing fixture technical specifications or “cut sheets” if

available - Proposed LED fixture descriptions (if fixtures will be

retrofitted as a part of this project)• Scope of work indicating the proposed Network Lighting

Control strategies for the new system and fixture operating schedules

• Technical specifications or “cut sheets” for proposed Network Lighting Control system

• Technical specifications or “cut sheets” for new LED fixtures (if the fixtures will be retrofitted during this project)

A Final Application is required once the NLC project installation is complete.

In addition to a complete and signed updated Final version of the Application form and invoices (equipment & external labor), the package must include:• Raw data file with kW (or voltage and amperage) readings

in an Excel spreadsheet. The metered data should have a maximum of 15-minute intervals over a minimum of a two-week period. Please note: The project will be deemed ineligible for the incentive payment if the NLC system does not have the capability to record and report the system power consumption over this period of time.

• If any of the following information deviates from the Pre-Application, please also provide updates to the following: - New reflected ceiling plan (for indoor) - New lighting inventory spreadsheet including any new/

updated LED fixture descriptions - Updated scope of work including final NLC strategies for the

new system and fixture operating schedules - Updated (or additional) specification sheets for control

system and fixtures

SpecificationsThe network lighting control system shall have the following minimum capabilities:• All lighting connected to Networked Lighting Control system

must be LED• A central master programming, control, and reporting interface

that is connected via hardwire or wireless technology to all devices and luminaires throughout the entire system. At a minimum, the networked lighting control system shall be capable of the following:

- Providing complete programming and control from the central location

- Occupancy and Operational reporting capability - Energy usage reporting maximum 15-minute monitoring

interval - Storing and delivering monitored energy usage information

in raw data format for a minimum of one year - Small zone control capability of 16 fixtures per zone or fewer - Remote interface and control such as BACnet, etc.

In addition to Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing and Zone Control, a minimum of one additional control strategy capability must be selected from the following:• Dimming (continuous or step)• Task Tuning• High-end trimming• Daylight Harvesting• User set preference/occupant profiles• Photocell Controls (for exterior lighting)• Demand Response• Load Shedding• Time Scheduling• Variable Light Level Control Incentive TieringThe total incentive paid for any retrofit application cannot exceed50% of the incremental project cost (not including internal labor).In addition to the above incremental project cost limit, incentive payment rates vary when a customer’s calculated incentive exceeds the following tiers:

• Tier 1 $0 - $100,000 = 100% of eligible calculated cash rebate value

• Tier 2 $100,001 - $300,000 = 50% of eligible calculated cash rebate value

• Tier 3 $300,001 - $500,000 = 25% of eligible calculated cash rebate value

• Tier 4 $500,001 - beyond = 10% of eligible calculated cash rebate value
