management or energy conservation measures that meet or exceed the City of Lodi energy efficiency standards,
including the installation of:
• eleven (11) high efficiency heating & cooling units;
• ten (10) digital programmable thermostats;
• 149 T-8 fluorescent lamps & related electronic ballast;
• four (4) photo cells for outdoor lighting applications;
• four (4) motion sensors for office & restroom lighting applications; and,
• thirty-two (32) low -watt halogen & Solatube lamps.
In accordance with previous new construction projects, the Wine & Roses Country Inn demand-side management
project is eligible for a 25 percent rebate of the total purchase price of the approved energy efficiency equipment and
materials noted above (total equipment and materials cost: $54,419.44). The Public Benefits Program Grant in the
amount of $13,904.86 reflects the 25 percent contribution to this effort.
