To be eligible for the Program you must:
• Be a San Diego Gas & Electric® (SDG&E) customer paying the California public goods charge on your utility bill.
• Own or operate a building that has at least 100,000 square feet of conditioned space, a direct digital control (DDC) system in place, and central plant mechanical equipment in relatively good condition. And building management must be willing to commit at least 40-60 hours of senior building operations staff time to support the project.
• Be willing to sign a release of energy bills for the last 12-24 months and through the program duration. The data will be used throughout the retrocommissioning (RCx) process and to generate an ENERGY STAR® benchmark score at project start and approximately 12 months after completion.
• Be committed to implementing agreed upon measures identified through the program, including all measures with a one year or less payback, within 12 months of project start date (a cap will be set at project start for the maximum amount to be designated for implementing measures that payback in one year or less).
• In addition, there must not be known barriers to implementing retrocommissioning improvements or repairs, such as tenant agreements or sensitivities, environmental dangers, including asbestos, or manual control systems.

“At Marriott, we’ve found that retro-
commissioning saves us time and money. At one property, we expect to save nearly $500,000 annually in energy costs from implementing retrocommissioning measures - and the project will pay for itself in less than one year. We’re using the San Diego RCx Program to continue our efforts in this area.”
-E.J. Hilts, Regional Energy Manager for Marriott (Western Region)
