--- _g This is a new industrial customer to Lodi,
located at 1101 E. Lodi Avenue. Design Select manufactures custom residential granite
counter tops and other precision stone works. Inside its recently refurbished, 24,000
square foot facility, Design Select representatives have purchased and installed one
high -efficiency Sullair rotary screw air-cooled air compressor with a variable speed drive
function. This unit is utilized in the manufacturing of the custom-made granite counter
tops and is built with energy efficiency, speed, and ease -of -maintenance in mind. The
unit consumes approximately 30 percent less electricity than comparable air
compressors that are won—ot equipped with the variable speed drive capability. This
capability allows an operator to "quick -start" the machine, without the slow warm-up
process (which conserves energy), and also allows the unit to ramp up and down,
creating more operator flexibility. In addition, Design Select representatives purchased
and installed 47 electronic ballasts, high -bay fixtures with 188 T-5 high -output
fluorescent lamps. Also installed were 60 T-8 fluorescent lamps and 12 wrap-around
fluorescent tamps. �_NQTE- The 47 electronic ballasts and the 188 T-5 lamps were
installed in the manufacturing plant; the 60 T-8 lamps and 12 wrap-around fluorescent
lamps were installed in the office/restroom space.)

demand-side management rebate as a qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public
Benefits Program.
