The program will be targeted to Public Sector customers in ComED and Ameren Illinois Utilities service territory, including units of local government, K-12 school districts, community colleges, public universities and State buildings.
Applicant eligibility is limited to existing buildings over five years old that exceed 150,00 square feet and have the potential to produce electrical savings through retro-commissioning. To participate applicants must submit an application, one to two year's energy bills and up-to-date as-built drawings to be considered for the program.
The facility owner must express a willingness to commit funding for participating in the process, completing the project plan, and implementing measures. The owner must be prepared to assume costs and expenses of at least $10,000 for agreed-upon measures that result in an estimated simple payback of 18 months or less based upon electrical savings. If at least $10,000 worth of measures recommended are not implemented within one calendar year from receipt of recommendations, the owner will be responsible for reimbursing the program for the cost of the analysis.
The Retro-commissioning Program services are delivered through a "service-incentive" program. This means the retro-commissioning analysis is the incentive to the customer and is fully funded by Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO). Participants are expected to cover the costs associated with implementing the measures recommended by the retro-commissioning analysis, attending meetings, and assisting Retro-commissioning Service Providers (RSPs) in acquiring facility information. Incentives for capital improvements may be available under DCEO's Standard Incentive Program or Custom Incentive Program.
