Abstract

The following presents three distinct perspectives (utility, implementation contractor, and manufacturer) of a unique market transformation program in Nevada. The program ultimately
resulted in installation of over 30,000 central air conditioners at the enhanced energy efficient level of 13 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) replacing standard 10 SEER equipment and producing peak energy savings of 45,000 Megawatt-hours annually and $100,000,000 in total utility customer benefits.
