ENERGY IS PRECIOUS. LET’S NOT WASTE IT.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
AEP Ohio offers prescriptive and custom incentives under
the AEP Ohio Business Incentives Program to facilitate
the implementation of cost-effective energy effciency
improvements for non-residential accounts or approved
agricultural accounts.
Please note that funds are limited and subject to availability.
Program Effective Dates
AEP Ohio Business Incentives Program offers incentives until
approved funds are exhausted or November 15, , whichever
comes frst. The effective dates of the current AEP Ohio Business
Incentives Program and application submittal requirements are as
follows:
• Projects with a fnal completion date before November
16, 2012, may not be eligible for an incentive through this
application. Self-direct projects must apply via the separate
AEP Ohio Business Incentives Program self-direct application.
• All 2013 AEP Ohio Business Incentives Program projects must
be completed and Final Applications received no later than
November 15, 2013, in order to qualify for incentives identifed
in this application.
Program and Project Eligibility
The AEP Ohio Business Incentives Program offers prescriptive
incentives for some of the more-common energy effciency
measures and custom incentives for other eligible improvements
not included on the list of prescriptive measures. Program
incentives available under the AEP Ohio Business Incentives
Program include non-residential accounts or approved agricultural
accounts served on AEP Ohio’s regulated retail rates.
Qualifying projects must be installed in a facility in AEP Ohio’s
electric service territory in Ohio. Incentives are available to all
non-residential accounts or approved agricultural accounts that
pay into the Energy Effciency and Peak Demand Response (EE/
PDR) rider and receive their electricity over AEP Ohio wires,
regardless from which retail electric supplier the customer has
chosen to purchase power. A customer may neither apply for nor
receive incentives for the same product, equipment or service
from more than one utility.
Custom projects must involve measures that result in a reduction
in electric energy usage due to an improvement in system
effciency. Projects that result in reduced energy consumption
without an improvement in system effciency are not eligible for a
custom incentive. The project simple payback prior to the incentive
payment generally should fall between 1 to 7 years, or pass cost-
effectiveness test(s) determined by AEP Ohio to qualify for an
incentive. Incentives are based on frst-year energy savings.
Projects involving measures covered by the prescriptive incentive
portion of the program are not eligible for custom incentives.
However, the applicant has the option to apply for a custom
incentive for whole building integrated projects or systems, even if
they include prescriptive measures. Prescriptive elements may be
capped at the deemed savings and/or incentive level.
Project requirements under the AEP Ohio Business Incentives
Program include the following:
• Projects must involve a new facility improvement with capital
improvements that results in a permanent reduction in
electrical energy usage (kWh). Existing/old equipment must be
functional and in operation.
• Any measures installed at a facility must be sustainable
and provide 100% of the energy benefts as stated in the
application for a period of at least fve (5) years or for the life
of the product, whichever is less. If the customer ceases to
be a delivery service customer of AEP Ohio or removes the
equipment or systems at any time during the 5-year period or
the life of the product, the customer may be required to return
a prorated amount of incentive funds to AEP Ohio.
• All equipment must be new.
• All installed equipment must meet state, federal and local
codes and requirements.
• Projects must be installed on the AEP Ohio electric account in
Ohio served by an eligible electric rate.
• Equipment must be purchased, installed and operating (or
capable of operating in the case of seasonal uses) prior to
submitting a Final Application for an incentive.
• AEP Ohio will issue incentive payments in the form of checks,
not utility bill incentives.
• The incentive is paid as a one-time, one-program offer and
cannot be combined with incentive payments from other AEP
Ohio programs. The customer may be eligible to participate
in other programs offered by AEP Ohio, as long as no project
receives more than one incentive.
Confdential information contained in any documents associated
with this application will be protected from public flings. However,
this information may be disclosed to the PUCO for further review
and approval.
Projects that are NOT eligible for an incentive include the
following:
• Fuel switching (e.g., electric to gas or gas to electric)
• Changes in operational and/or maintenance practices or
simple control modifcations not involving capital costs (Please
visit aepohio.com/incentives for Retro-Commissioning Program
or Continuous Improvement Program)
• Removal or termination of existing processes, facilities and/or
operations
Page 4
Prescriptive & Custom
Program Application
ENERGY IS PRECIOUS. LET’S NOT WASTE IT.
• On-site electricity generation
• Projects involving gas-driven equipment in place of or to
replace electric equipment (such as a chiller)
• Projects focused primarily on power factor improvement
• Projects that involve peak-shifting (and not kWh savings)
• Used or rebuilt equipment
• Costs associated with internal labor
• Renewables (Please visit aepohio.com/save for Renewables
Program)
• Projects required by state or federal law, building or other
codes, or projects that are standard industry practice
• Projects easily reverted/removed or projects installed entirely
for reasons other than improving energy effciency
• Other conditions to be determined by AEP Ohio
Incentive Payment Limits
Incentive levels for prescriptive measures are provided in the
technology specifcations included in this application. Incentives
for custom measures are $0.08/kWh (energy). All incentives are
paid as a one-time incentive based on one-year energy and/or
demand savings.
The total incentive payment shall be the lesser of: 1) The
calculated incentive as approved by AEP Ohio or 2) 50% of total
project cost (not including internal labor).
Incentive Tiering
The total incentive paid for any retroft application cannot exceed
50% of the total project cost (not including internal labor). In
addition to the above project cost limit, incentive payment rates
vary when a customer’s calculated incentive exceeds the following
tiers:
• Tier 1 $0 - $100,000 = 100% of eligible calculated incentive
value
• Tier 2 $100,001 - $300,000 = 50% of eligible calculated
incentive value
• Tier 3 $300,001 - $500,000 = 25% of eligible calculated
incentive value
• Tier 4 $500,001 - beyond = 10% of eligible calculated
incentive value
Application Review Process
Applications are not a guarantee of program acceptance and
incentive payment. AEP Ohio will review applications for eligibility
and completeness. Completed applications will be reviewed in
the order received. Funds are reserved for the project when AEP
Ohio receives a complete application and determines that the
project meets the program eligibility requirements. Applicants who
submit incomplete applications will be notifed of defciencies upon
review of the application and may lose their place in the review
process until all requested information is received. Applications
must be completed and all information received by the deadlines
defned above to begin processing. Applicants are encouraged to
call the program hotline with any questions about documentation
requirements.
Pre-Approval Application
Prescriptive projects requiring pre-approval include new T8/T5
fxtures, delamping, LED, induction, lighting controls, guest room
energy management systems (EMS), VSDs on HVAC chillers,
EMS, air-side economizers, window flm and compressed air
measures.
All custom projects require pre-approval.
Final Application
The Final Application must be submitted within 60 days of
project completion. Final Applications and all required supporting
documentation should be received by November 15, 2013, to be
applicable for the 2013 program year.
A signed application with supporting project documentation
verifying project installation and capital improvements must be
submitted to AEP Ohio prior to application approval. Project
documentation, such as (but not limited to) copies of dated
invoices for the purchase and installation of the measures,
equipment specifcation sheets, energy-savings analysis,
complete application and W-9 forms (LLC, individual, partnership,
property management companies), is required. The invoice should
provide suffcient detail to separate the project cost from the costs
of other services not related to the energy effciency project and
other repairs. The location or business name on the invoice must
be consistent with the application information.
AEP Ohio reserves the right to request additional supporting
documentation as deemed necessary to ensure measure
eligibility and verify that the expected energy savings will occur.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
with this application will be protected from public flings. However,
this information may be disclosed to the PUCO and the evaluators
for further review. Requested information as proof of project
completion could include equipment purchase dates, installation
dates, proof that the equipment is operational, manufacturer
specifcations, warranty information, invoices and proof of owner
co-payment.
Inspections
The AEP Ohio Business Incentives Program reserves the right
to inspect all projects to verify compliance with the program
rules and the accuracy of project documentation. This may
include pre-installation and/or post-installation inspections,
verifcation of detailed lighting layout descriptions, metering, data
collection, interviews and utility bill data analyses or monitoring
data analysis. Customers are required to allow access to project
documents and the facility where the measures are installed
for a period of fve years after receipt of incentive payment from
AEP Ohio. In the event a building(s) are turned over to a new
account holder/owner before AEP Ohio has offcially measured
and verifed incentivized equipment, AEP Ohio reserves the right
to do so under new ownership. Customer understands and agrees
that program installations may also be subject to inspections by
the PUCO or its designee, and photographs of installation may be
required.
Requirements for Custom Project Electricity
Savings Calculation
The annual electricity savings for custom projects must be
calculated using industry-accepted engineering algorithms
or simulation models. The applicant may estimate the annual
electricity usage of both the existing and proposed equipment
based on the current operation of the facility. Find a listing of the
pre-existing information requirements at the end of the custom
application section. If equipment is replaced prior to the end of its
rated service life in order to achieve energy savings, the existing
equipment performance may be used as the baseline in the
energy-savings calculations. Documentation of early replacement
decision and/or actual equipment energy usage will be required.
If equipment is replaced due to failure or for other reasons (such
as obsolescence or a need for more capacity), the baseline
performance used in the savings calculation should be either the
minimum performance that would be required by code for that
equipment type and application (where a code applies) or the
performance of the equipment that would have been selected as
the customer’s standard practice when a code does not apply.
The applicant must be able to clearly describe the method used to
calculate the savings. The applicant must provide all assumptions
used in the calculations and document the sources for these
assumptions. If no savings analysis is provided by the customer/
contractors, AEP Ohio reserves the right to utilize its approved
methodology and analysis to determine energy savings.
The method and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate
the annual savings will be reviewed by AEP Ohio. AEP Ohio is
solely responsible for the fnal determination of the annual energy
savings to be used in calculating the incentive amount. AEP
Ohio also reserves the right to require specifc measurement and
verifcation activities, including monitoring both before and after
the retroft to determine the incentive. Verifcation of the pre-
existing consumption may also be required.
For custom projects, the applicant is required to submit a Pre-
Approval Application while the existing equipment is still in
operation in order to allow AEP Ohio the opportunity to verify the
existing equipment. AEP Ohio may need to conduct inspections
both before and after retroft projects to verify equipment and
operating conditions.
Customers are encouraged to submit projects that warrant special
treatment (i.e., non-typical projects) to be considered on a case-
by-case basis by AEP Ohio.
Tax Liability
Incentives are taxable and, if more than $600, will be reported
to the IRS unless the customer is exempt. AEP Ohio is not
responsible for any taxes that may be imposed on your business
as a result of your receipt of payment. A W-9 (for LLC, individual,
partnership, property management companies) must be provided
with all applications.
Disclaimer
Any and all energy savings and coincident demand generated by
the project described in this application are hereby committed to
AEP Ohio. That retained demand can be used to count against
AEP Ohio’s benchmark requirements in S.B. 221, regardless; any
retained demand provided to PJM generation auctions must be
done so by AEP Ohio only.
Peak-demand reduction is defned as the reduction in average
load over the performance hours as a result of replacing existing
electrical equipment with more-effcient electrical equipment.
Peak performance hours are defned as the time between June
1 and August 31 on weekdays and non-holidays, between the
hours 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. PJM Peak
Hours are defned as the time between June 1 and August 31 on
weekdays and non-holidays, between the hours 2:00 p.m. and
6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
AEP Ohio does not guarantee the energy savings and does
not make any warranties associated with the measures eligible
for incentives under this program. AEP Ohio has no obligations

Notes
During the pre-inspection, existing lamps that are burned out or
removed are noted to refect actual baseline energy usage. This
will affect the project’s fnal kW and kWh savings, which will be
noted. The calculation of burned out or removed lamps occurs on
a facility-wide basis, where the burned out or removed lamps are
calculated for the entire facility and applied to all fxtures of the
same technology. The process involves:
1. During the pre-inspection, conduct the normal lighting fxture
determination, operation hour determination and fxture count.
2. Note any individual inoperable/burned out/removed lamps and
keep a running tally.
3. At the end of the inspection, calculate the total number of
burned out/inoperable or removed lamps and divide it by the
total number of lamps at the facility.
4. If this factor is greater than 10 percent, apply this burned out or
removed percentage to all lamps included in the project. If total
facility burned out or removed result is less than 10 percent, the
burned out or removed results can be ignored.

or an air handler serving both heating and cooling systems.
Demand Control Ventilation in Offces
Incentives are available for retroftting existing building ventilation
systems with controls that vary outside air volume based on
carbon dioxide (or other air quality parameter) levels to measure
occupancy. Buildings must have cooling systems and conditioned
spaces must remain between 65°F and 75°F during operating
hours. Systems must currently have fresh air requirements equal
or greater than 10 percent of supply air requirements. Install
carbon dioxide sensors in conjunction with fully functioning
economizers that have zone-level sensors for rooftop units and
return-system sensors for built-up systems. The incentive is
calculated per square foot of area controlled; a foor plan must
accompany the Final Application.

Demand Control Ventilation in Parking Garages
Incentives are available for the control of exhaust ventilation fans
for an existing enclosed parking garage using carbon monoxide
sensor and controls. The control system must vary the number
of fans on-line, the fan speed or fan blade pitch in response to
the carbon monoxide concentration as sensed at representative
locations in the garage. Systems must be capable of turning off
fan power during periods of low activity as compared to high-
activity periods. If code requires controlling garage ventilation
systems, the systems are not eligible for this incentive.

HVAC Occupancy Control
This incentive is available for adding occupancy sensors that
automatically switch an AC unit off for specifc spaces (i.e.,
classrooms, large conference rooms, multifunction rooms, etc.)
when these areas are not in use. The area served by the proposed
HVAC occupancy sensors must be conditioned by a dedicated
unitary AC or heat pump unit (i.e., the AC unit controlled by the
occupancy sensor must not serve any other spaces that require
conditioning when the occupancy sensor dictates unoccupied
mode). The installed occupancy control must be capable of turning
off the compressor and room fan during unoccupied mode. This
incentive is not available for spaces already controlled by outside
air demand control ventilation systems.

AC-OUTPUT UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY (UPS)
FOR NON-DATA CENTERS GLOSSARY
Variable and Frequency Dependent (VFD): Also known as
passive, standby, offine or standby power supply (SPS), VFDs
may be referred to as the UPS with the highest input dependency.
This designation occurs because output voltage is dependent on
changes in AC input voltage and frequency, and is not intended
to provide additional corrective functions. VFDs provide basic
protection to the load against power outage.
Voltage Independent (VI): Also known as a line interactive UPS,
a VI protects the load from power outages, much like a VFD. It
also protects the load from the continuous application of under
and over voltage, typically from 5 to 30 minutes. A VI has a lower
input dependency than a VFD, but a higher input dependency
than a VFI.
Voltage and Frequency Independent (VFI): Also know as double
conversion, or online, a VFI has the lowest input dependency of
the three UPS types. It is similar to VI systems in that it protects
the load from power outages, under and over voltages, and
frequency variations. It also protects the load from the adverse
effects of these variations without depleting the stored energy
source. VFI systems can provide an electrical frewall between the
input power and the sensitive electronic equipment. While VFDs
and VIs provide flters of the input utility power, a VFI functions as
a layer of insulation from power-quality issues.
Single-Normal-Mode: A UPS that operates in only one input
dependency mode (i.e., VFD, VI or VFI mode).
Multiple-Normal-Mode: Also known as hybrid or double
conversion on demand, this type of UPS can operate in more
than one input dependency mode. One mode is always VFD; the
other mode is either VI or VFI. For example, a UPS operates as a
VFD when the power conditions are within certain setpoints and
switches over to a higher input dependency mode when the power
conditions are outside of that pre-set window.
Minimum Average Effciency: The average effciency of the
UPS, based on standardized loadings, which is calculated using
the equation below:

engineering algorithms or simulation models that document the
annual total energy savings and on-peak demand savings must
accompany custom applications. The applicant must submit
calculations and methods used to derive the savings, along with
all assumptions used in the calculations. Include the documented
source for these assumptions. AEP Ohio will review the submittal.
AEP Ohio is solely responsible for the fnal determination of the
annual energy savings used to calculate the incentive amount.
AEP Ohio may need to conduct inspections both before and after
the retroft projects to verify equipment and operation conditions.
AEP Ohio also reserves the right to require specifc measurement
and verifcation activities, including monitoring both before and
after the retroft, and to base the incentive payment on the results
of these activities.
The following serves as guidelines for the minimum required
documentation. The program team may be able to assist in
calculating savings. Please contact the team for more details.
Calculations may be performed by “hand,” but spreadsheet
analysis or more rigorous modeling is preferred. Provide all
analysis in electronic format. Include all assumptions such
as operating hours, and existing and proposed equipment
operational details. Use engineering algorithms and procedures
from recognized technical organizations, such as American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’
National Association (SMACNA), American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), etc. Use rated performance factors tested under
accepted procedures specifed by recognized rating agencies
such as Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), ANSI,
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), etc. Provide
an explanation when equipment-performance rating conditions
vary from standard conditions.
In support of the calculations, provide extensive documentation
that outlines the basis for the savings estimates. The
documentation must provide information on the equipment
operating schedule, daily and seasonal load profle, and baseline
AND energy-effcient equipment performance at the operating
loads. Typical documentation for custom projects often includes:
• Baseline/existing and proposed equipment make and model
numbers, including operating voltage and rated full-load amps
• Existing equipment condition and age
• Engineering or architectural drawings and equipment schedule
sheets
• Component specifcations that include part-load effciency or
performance factors
• Spreadsheet calculations or input/output fles and results from
system modeling or other engineering analysis using accepted
engineering algorithms and practices
• Log sheets, trend logs from a building management system
or other operating documentation that often are necessary to
document operating hours and equipment loading, and are
used as a basis for the calculations (In some cases, short-term
monitoring may be required to document the load profle.)
• Control sequence of operations that are necessary where
controls play a part in the savings equation
Additional documentation, other than that described in the
application, may be required for program participation. Larger
projects also may require pre- and post-project sub-metering

or monitoring of loads and/or power input as part of another
measurement and verifcation activity to demonstrate the actual
energy savings realized.
Baseline for Custom Analysis
In situations where equipment is replaced prior to the end of
its rated service life (more than 5 years) in order to achieve
energy savings, it is permissible to use the existing equipment
performance as the baseline for the energy-savings calculations.
In situations where equipment is replaced due to failure or
for other reasons (such as obsolescence or a need for more
capacity), the baseline performance used in the savings
calculations should refect either the minimum performance
required by federal or local energy code for that equipment type
and application (where a code applies) or the performance of
the equipment that would have been selected as the customer’s
“standard practice” when a code does not apply.
