Xcel Energy Delivers a Variety of Rebate Options If you are looking to optimize the performance of your existing building systems, we offer a variety of Recommissioning programs designed to meet your energy conservation goals. 1) Recommissioning/ Retrocommissioning Study and Implementation. Energy experts will conduct a comprehensive review of your building’s energy consumption – even if your building was previously commissioned. Recommissioning studies will identify opportunities to effectively reduce your energy use up to 20 percent. You can earn study and implementation rebates with this option. 2) Fast Track Studies. This option is for customers who have completed a recommissioning study on their own, without receiving study funding from us. You can earn implementation rebates* with this option. 3) Fast Track Proposal. This option is designed specifically for customers who may not be ready to undertake a comprehensive recommissioning study, yet have identified one or two specific recommissioning energy-saving measures. You can earn implementation rebates* with this option, as well. 4) Refrigeration Recommissioning Studies. Supermarkets are the most electricity-intensive type of commercial building – and refrigeration accounts for half of an average store’s electricity use. Refrigeration recommissioning studies identify opportunities to tune up existing refrigeration systems rather than replace them, ensuring more reliable operation, which helps to avoid costly repairs and reduce downtime. You can earn study and implementation rebates with this option. * In order to qualify for Fast Track rebates, your analysis should include energy saving estimates and demonstrate a thorough understanding of the affected equipment’s energy and demand consumption.

Commissioning is systematic and documented process of ensuring that specific building systems perform interactively according to the design intent and the owner’s operational needs. With today’s buildings and systems becoming more complex, the need for commissioning contin- ues to grow. Unfortunately, com- missioning remains an uncommon practice. Recommissioning takes another look at a building that was previ- ously commissioned to ensure it is once again running at optimal performance. Retrocommissioning involves tun- ing up an existing building that was never formally commissioned. Unless you requested commissioning, it’s likely your building’s systems never were properly calibrated for ongoing efficiency. Xcel Energy’s Recommissioning program covers both recommission- ing and retrocommissioning.
