Since lighting is typically a large portion of the energy load in most
commercial buildings, Longmont Power and Communications, the city of Longmont’s
municipal utility, has developed the Commercial Lighting Incentive Program, or
CLIP.
CLIP provides a free lighting audit and financial assistance to commercial
customers interested in upgrading to energy-efficient lighting. The financial
assistance takes two forms: 1) as a 2-year, no-interest loan to help finance a
retrofit project, or 2) as a rebate based on the project’s reduction in lighting
load, paid at $100/kW of reduction. CLIP is available to all business customers
in the C-2 or higher rate class, or those using 50kW of load per month.
Longmont Power and Communications also offers a free energy audit, covering
all areas of energy efficiency, to its commercial customers. |
