Nev. Admin. Code § 704.806 - Announcements to eligible customers: List of measures to conserve energy
A utility's announcement to be made pursuant to NAC 704.804 must include the following items in its list of measures which an eligible customer may take to conserve energy in a residential building or dwelling unit:
1. Reducing the passage of air
and moisture by filling small gaps around the fixed joints of window and door
frames (caulking).
2. Reducing the
passage of air and moisture by the installation of weather stripping over or in
movable joints of windows and doors.
3. Modifying the system used for heating the
building, by:
(a) Replacing an electric
furnace, boiler or heat pump with similar but more efficient equipment or with
a gas-fired system if it has a lower cost of operation;
(b) Replacing a furnace or boiler which is
fired by natural gas with a more efficient furnace or boiler fired by natural
gas; or
(c) Replacing an oil burner
with a more efficient oil burner or with a gas-fired system if it has a lower
cost of operation. As used in this paragraph, an oil burner is a device which
atomizes fuel oil, mixes it with air and ignites the mixture and is an integral
part of an oil-fired furnace or boiler, including the combustion
chamber.
4. Replacing a
central air conditioner with a more efficient air conditioner.
5. Placing insulation or increasing existing
insulation:
(a) Between the conditioned area
of the building and an unconditioned attic to achieve an effective R-value of
at least R-30.
(b) Within or on the
walls between conditioned and unconditioned areas of the building or the
outside.
(c) Between the first
conditioned level of the building and an unconditioned basement, a crawl space
or open area beneath the building.
(d) On the surface of a heating or cooling
duct in an unconditioned area of the building.
(e) On the exterior surface of a hydronic
heating or cooling pipe in an unconditioned area of the building.
(f) On the exterior surface of the casing of
a water heater.
6.
Installing insulated skirting to enclose the space between a mobile home and
the ground.
7. Placing window or
glazing material outside or inside an ordinary or prime window to create an air
space between the windows or glazing materials and provide greater resistance
to the flow of heat, that is, installing a storm window.
8. Installing a thermal window, consisting of
two or more sheets of glazing material affixed to a window frame to create one
or more air spaces between the glazing materials and provide greater resistance
to the flow of heat.
9. Installing
heat-reflective or heat-absorbent glazing material in windows or doors or
applying reflective or absorptive films or coatings to existing windows or
doors.
10. Installing a
programmable thermostat which will reduce the consumption of energy in a
heating or cooling system by switching the temperature in interior spaces
automatically from one level to another.
11. Installing insulated shutters and shades
on the inside or outside of existing windows to reduce the loss or gain of
heat.
12. Replacing a water heater
which operates by electric resistance with a gas water heater.
13. Using an insulating cover on a heated
swimming pool during the night.
14.
Installing a solar water heating system or photovoltaic panels.
