45. Energy and Atmosphere
Substantially lower overall payback period
•State and Federal Tax reductions
•AZ Dept of Commerce + Electric Utilities – APS, SRP, TEP
•Installation credits; installed watt credits
•Yearly credits; Production based credits
•Accelerated depreciation
•General rules of thumb at this time:
•50% to 70% overall cost reduction
•Federal Tax incentive now at 30%, may go to 10% at YE
46. Energy and Atmosphere
APS Residential AC Rebate Program
• The APS Residential Air Conditioner (AC) Rebate Program offers
rebates to APS residential customers who replace their existing heat
pump or AC unit with a new high-efficiency system. Efficiency
requirements and rebate amounts are shown below.
Minimum Efficiency Levels
– APS Rebate Amount
• SEER 14 = $250
• SEER 16 = $400
Note: Add $100 if installed by a APS Qualified
Contractor
47. Energy and Atmosphere
Residential Solar and Renewable Incentives
System type Up-front incentive with 20 year REC agreement
Photovoltaic systems
– Grid tied Up to $3/watt*4000 watt (4kW)
– Grid Tied system installed.
$3 x 4000 watts = $12,000 incentive
– Off grid Up to $2/watt*
Solar water heating $0.75/kWh savings
– Water heater with first year savings of 1800 kWh based on OG-300 rating.
$0.75 x 1800 kWh = $1,350 incentive
Wind Energy
– Grid tied $2.50/watt 5000 watt (5kW) Grid Tied system installed.
$2.50 x 5000 watts = $12,500 incentive
– Off grid $2/watt Up-front Incentives cannot exceed 50 percent of the total system cost
(before any state and federal tax credits are applied).

66. Does LEED Cost More?
The industry is providing 2 short answers:
No, If your definition of cost includes;
– Life Cycle Cost Analysis
» “We are now at a point where you can build to
LEED standards and it is not one penny more
than conventional building”.
Rick Fedrizzi CEO USGBC
• Yes, If your definition of cost is only based on;
– First Cost Analysis
