HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolutions - No. 2006-17WHEREAS, the City of Lodi's Public Benefits Program is comprised of four segments
or customer groups: commerciaVindustriai, residential, community/non-profit, and municipal;
and
WHEREAS, the Lodi Energy Efficient Home Improvement Rebate Program provides
rebates to residential customers who install designated and approved energy conservation
measures; and
WHEREAS, the current list of eligible measures are: attic insulation, windows, radiant
barriers, attic fans/ventilators, ceiling fans, whole house fans, window tinting/shade screens,
andfor replace -repair air ducts; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility staff recommends that wall insulation be added to this
program as a now energy efficiency measure, as purchasing and installing wall insulation can
reduce energy consumption, on average, by as much as four (4) percent annually. To receive
a rebate for Wall insulation, customers must install a minimum R-13 level (energy efficiency
value or rating for insulation), and the insulation must be installed in non -insulated walls
between conditioned and unconditioned areas (no interior walls within the home are eligible for
rebate). Customers must also consent to a potential pre- and post -inspection of their property.
The rebate amount will be $0.16 per square foot of wall insulation installed, with a cap of $200
per customer service address; and
WHEREAS, staff further recommends that windows be removed as a rebate item from
the current. Lodi Energy Efficient Home Improvement Rebate Program, as it was recently
determined that windows do not produce energy savings as once thought.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize amending the existing Lodi Energy Efficient Home Improvement Rebate Program, by
adding wall insulation as an eligible rebate item and removing windows as an eligible rebate
element.
