Kettleman Lane, for a demand-side management project. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Jack In The Box Incorporated is one of the nations more aggressive entities in regards to the implementation of high efficiency and energy efficient equipment. A representative from the Jack In The Box corporate office initiated communications with the City of Lodi Electric Utility, inquiring about energy rebates. To that end, Electric Utility staff reviewed the plans and specifications for the new Jack In The Box restaurant on Kettleman Lane, and determined that the following equipment/materials met or exceeded energy efficiency standards: ➢ two (2) 12.5 ton high efficiency heating & cooling units (a seasonal energy efficiency rating of 10.0 per unit); ➢ fifty-five (55) T-8 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts; ➢ LED (light -emitting diode) exit signs throughout the facility; ➢ twenty-two (22) outdoor metal halide lamps/fixtures with photo cells. The $6,185.73 Public Benefits Program grant reflects a 25 percent rebate on the total cost of the aforementioned high efficiency/energy efficient equipment and materials. This is consistent with all other commercial and industrial Public Benefit Program grants issued since the start of the city's Public Benefits Program in 1998. The rebate is identified as a demand-side management project, more commonly referred to as energy conservation. Based upon the high efficiency equipment listed above, Jack In The Box restaurant will reduce energy consumption in excess of 20 percent. After reviewing the various plans and specifications, and discussing the project at length with Jack In The Box representatives, the City of Lodi Electric Utility respectfully recommends approval of this rebate as a qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
