Definitions
British Thermal Unit (Btu): The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water
by one degree Fahrenheit.
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): The cooling capacity of an air-conditioning unit (Btu/hr) divided by the

existing heated greenhouses will qualify. Greenhouses must be for agriculture and floriculture uses (NAICS 1114), as well as
landscape and horticultural services (NAICS 541 & 561). A manufacturer’s specification sheet must be included.
G-M. Setback Programmable Thermostats
Must automatically adjust the temperature setting of the heating or air conditioning system at pre-selected times to make sure
energy is consumed only when needed. Must have automatic setback feature. The system “fan” switch must have an “on”
feature that circulates air continuously. This measure is not eligible for additional Itemized Incentives under Category B in the
Other HVAC Measure definitions.
G-N. Low-Flow Pre Rinse Spray Valves
Low flow pre-rinse valves include a spray nozzle, a squeeze lever, and a dish guard bumper and also typically include a spray
handle clip that will lock the handle in the spray position. The low flow pre-rinse valve must be designed and marketed
specifically for use in commercial food service applications and must replace a pre-rinse valve with a nominal flow rate of at least
2.6 gpm. The maximum flow rate of the low flow pre-rinse valve must be less then 1.6 gpm at a flowing water pressure of 60 psi.
No dual flow spray valves will be allowed to qualify for the Itemized Incentive since there is no control as to how these valves
would be operated after installation (high or low flow).
