Section 704.820 - Proposed methodology for performing inspections
Universal Citation: NV Admin Code 704.820
Current through September 16, 2024
1. Each utility shall develop a proposed methodology for performing its residential inspections and shall submit its proposed methodology to the Commission for approval.
2. Except as otherwise provided in NAC 704.822, the proposed methodology must require that:
(a) The inspector's calculations be based
upon data collected by him or her from actual measurements of the interior and
exterior of the building and inspection of the equipment used for heating and
cooling spaces and heating water.
(b) The data collected be in sufficient
detail to enable the inspector to provide the customer with the following
information:
(1) A reasonably accurate
estimate of the total cost, including materials and labor, to have an installer
install the appropriate material and equipment for each applicable measure for
conserving energy.
(2) A reasonably
accurate estimate of the total cost for the eligible customer to purchase and
install the appropriate material and equipment for each of those measures,
including replacing a central air conditioner, installing wall insulation, or
replacing or modifying a furnace, boiler or heat pump.
(3) A reasonably accurate estimate of the
total savings in energy, expressed in dollars and kilowatt hours of electric
energy or cubic feet of gas, which would be likely to occur during the first
year following completion of each appropriate measure.
(4) An estimate of the savings, after taking
into consideration any available federal tax credits, in cost of energy,
expressed in dollars, which would be likely to occur during the first year
following completion of all applicable measures, assuming that those measures
are carried out in the order of the shortest simple pay back, which is
calculated by dividing the estimated cost of installation by the estimated
saving from the measure in the first year.
