Cooling5. Lighting and Appliances6. 3rd Party Verification
Note:These homes are 15% more efficient than 2004 Int. Res. Code (IRC)
Energy and Atmosphere
Energy & Atmosphere• The average certified
LEED home uses 30% to 40% less electricity
• LEED homes save up to 100 metric tons of CO2 emissions over its lifetime.
• Exceed ASHREA 90.1 by 15%

Based on their average Home Energy Rating System (HERS) scores, homes certified under LEED for Homes since the
program launched in January 2008 are predicted, on average, to have the potential for reduced energy usage compared with International Energy Conservation Code

Energy and AtmosphereEnergy Efficient HVAC Systems
Feature:• All units have 13 SEER heat
pumps in lieu of 10 SEER
• Youth and Management buildings 16 SEER
Benefit:• Saves residents 5% - 10% in
utility costs annually.
• Saves Youth and Management buildings between 15% - 20% in cooling costs per year.

Building Efficient Duct System
• Ducts in conditioned space
• Sealed Ducts by using mastic or UL tapes
• Insulated Ducts
• Right Sized Ducts (ACCA Guidelines)
Substantially lower overall payback period•State and Federal Tax reductions
•AZ Dept of Commerce + Electric Utilities – APS, SRP, TEP
•Installation credits; installed watt credits
•Yearly credits; Production based credits
•Accelerated depreciation
•General rules of thumb at this time:
•50% to 70% overall cost reduction
•Federal Tax incentive now at 30%, may go to 10% at YE

APS Residential AC Rebate Program
• The APS Residential Air Conditioner (AC) Rebate Program offers rebates to APS residential customers who replace their existing heat pump or AC unit with a new high-efficiency system. Efficiency requirements and rebate amounts are shown below.
Minimum Efficiency Levels
– APS Rebate Amount• SEER 14 = $250• SEER 16 = $400
Note: Add $100 if installed by a APS Qualified Contractor

Residential Solar and Renewable Incentives
System type Up-front incentive with 20 year REC agreementPhotovoltaic systems
– Grid tied Up to $3/watt*4000 watt (4kW) – Grid Tied system installed.
$3 x 4000 watts = $12,000 incentive– Off grid Up to $2/watt*
Solar water heating $0.75/kWh savings– Water heater with first year savings of 1800 kWh based on OG-300 rating.
$0.75 x 1800 kWh = $1,350 incentive
Wind Energy– Grid tied $2.50/watt 5000 watt (5kW) Grid Tied system installed.
$2.50 x 5000 watts = $12,500 incentive– Off grid $2/watt Up-front Incentives cannot exceed 50 percent of the total system cost
(before any state and federal tax credits are applied).

Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs is oneof the easiest ways to start making animpact on your energy bills.
Facts:• ENERGY STAR bulbs use 75 percent less energy • Save more than $30 in energy costs over the life of the
bulb • Bulbs last up to 10 times longer • Operate at cooler temps – increasing indoor comfort
