AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to extend the Public Benefits Program - Lodi
Energy Efficient Windows & Shade Screen Program in the amount of $30,000 (EUD)
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2001
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manger to
extend the Public Benefits Program - Lodi Energy Efficient Windows &
Shade Screen Program in the amount of $30,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In June of this year, the City Council approved a resolution creating the Lodi
Energy Efficient Windows & Shade Screen Program. This program provides
rebates to residential customers that install designated energy efficient
windows and/or shade screens. To date, nearly one hundred customers have participated in this energy conservation
program.
By way of this resolution, the Lodi Energy Efficient Windows & Shade Screen Program will be extended until funds are
exhausted. Other specific program criteria includes:
➢ one rebate per customer service address in any twelve month period;
➢ rebates are $1.25/square foot for windows, and $.50/square foot for shade screens;
➢ customers may utilize a contractor of their choice, or may install energy efficient windows/shade screens
themselves;
➢ windows must display the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) approval mark, as well as the EnergyStar
logo; shade screens must have the capability of blocking 70% or more of the sun's solar heat gain; and
➢ customer must be a City of Lodi Electric Utility customer.
The installation of designated/approved energy efficient windows can reduce monthly utility costs (both heating and
cooling costs) by up to fifteen percent, while the installation of shade screens can reduce monthly cooling costs by as
much as ten percent.
