Burlington Bees in Burlington, Iowa
Even though baseball began over 150 years
ago, doesn’t mean the stadium equipment
has to be that old. The Burlington Bees
stadium, Community Field, was ready for
an upgrade, so the team contacted Alliant
Energy for an Energy Audit. The audit
identified great ways for the team to save

energy and money. They installed high bay
and fluorescent lighting throughout the
stadium and on the field, installed beverage
machine controllers and replaced the water
heater. The total energy savings for the
Burlington Bees each year is over $5,000.

Custom Rebates
Tailor-made
rebates
Rebate calculation
Establishing a project’s baseline and calculating a rebate are not always simple
tasks. In addition, not all projects qualify for an incentive. Before making a
commitment to proceed with a project, pre-approval must be obtained
from Alliant Energy.
Not all building or remodeling projects fit in a predetermined package,
which is why you should keep Custom Rebates in mind if you are:
• Considering a process improvement project
• Installing more than one type of high-efficiency equipment
• Installing equipment that doesn’t qualify for standard rebates (see pages 6-16)
Eligible equipment includes, but is not limited to:
• Compressed air systems
The rebate calculation is based on a percentage of the annual energy dollar
savings. Custom Rebates requires a two-year minimum payback, which is
referred to as “net payback” in the formula below.
PROJECT COST - REBATE
= NET PAYBACK
ANNUAL ENERGY DOLLAR SAVINGS*
*Annual energy dollar savings are based on an individual customer’s usage patterns and rate classification.
• Combined heat and power projects
• Energy management control systems
If you’re considering
improvements to your facility
or manufacturing process,
be sure to make Custom
Rebates part of your plans.
Projects that result in a reduction
of kWh or therms are potentially
eligible for rebates.
Pre-approval is required to
participate.
• Heating, cooling and ventilation systems
• Lighting systems and controls
• Baseline for replacing inoperable or worn equipment is the energy
consumption of the equipment in its original condition.
• Processing equipment
• Waste heat recovery systems
• New equipment must meet minimum efficiency levels and be pre-approved
by Alliant Energy.
Combined heat and power
Alliant Energy offers rebates for on-site customer-owned combined heat and
power. The facility must consume 100% of the electrical and thermal power that
they generate. Rebates are determined by the first year of energy dollar savings
of the primary fuel serving the displaced thermal load.
Combined heat and power project eligible for a rebate:
• Bottoming cycle plants, which is the process of extracting electricity from
thermal energy after it is used in an industrial process.
An example of a bottoming cycle plant is the waste heat from an industrial
process.
Before installing combined heat and power systems, you must have a Feasibility
Study of your facility or a site assessment conducted by a qualified engineering
firm or installation contractor. If your business qualifies, Alliant Energy will
reimburse 50% of the pre-approved study cost, up to $7,500. Additional details
are available on page 17. After your business has completed the Feasibility
Study or site assessment, please submit the documentation to Alliant Energy for
pre-approval of the combined heat and power project.

For a retrofit or replacement project, the baseline used to calculate the
incentive generally is the energy usage for the equipment being replaced.
Energy dollar savings are actual savings and follow these guidelines:
1 - 8 6 6 - ALLIANT ( 8 6 6 - 2 5 5 - 4 2 6 8 ) .
• Projects must demonstrate permanency or sustainability of savings.
• Savings resulting directly from reduced production or shutdown are not
eligible.
• Savings when production levels change will be calculated based on
per-unit energy consumption before and after implementation.
Industrial facilities use energy much differently than commercial buildings.
Processes and supporting systems, including compressed air, refrigeration,
heat rejection systems and steam, use a significant amount of gas and electricity.
Alliant Energy offers design assistance of processes and supporting systems
(in addition to HVAC, lighting and building shell measures) to help design
efficiency into new industrial facilities or process expansions.

Plan ahead
to maximize
rebate
Create an action plan for when motor failure strikes. Have an energy-efficient
model in mind and take advantage of the following benefits:
• Reduced energy expense
• Enhanced operational efficiency
Open drip proof (ODP)
• Lower maintenance costs
• Less unscheduled downtime
• Rebates from Alliant Energy
In order to qualify for a rebate, the motor(s) must meet specific efficiency
guidelines detailed on the next page.
Variable frequency drive
A variable frequency drive (VFD) controls the power supplied to the
motor. When implemented, VFDs can reduce the unit’s operating costs and
improve overall efficiency.[2]

Compressed air can be one of the most expensive commodities, but each part of
the system can be an opportunity for energy savings. The largest component is
the compressor, but other equipment that determines energy efficiency includes
air dryers, filters, controllers and storage tanks. Depending on the existing system
and compressed air needs, an energy-efficient unit can save your business up to
50% on energy costs.

RetroCommissioning
Study
Let’s make it
better
Consider a Retro-Commissioning (RCx) Study if your building meets the
following requirements:
• Minimum of 20,000 square feet
• DDC system or process controls that are two to 10 years old and do not
need any capital repairs
• No major system renovation plans for the area under consideration
The study provides:
• Information on reprogramming the building’s DDC or process controls
A Retro-Commissioning (RCx)
• A design and control sequence with detailed instructions for reprogramming
the controls
Study identifies ways to
• Real-time verification to assure all controls are working properly
optimize your facility’s direct
• Building management training to maximize the new system parameters
digital controls (DDC) or process
• Twelve-month comparison of pre- and post-RCx Study energy- and
cost-savings
controls. Most solutions will be
no- to low-cost operational and
maintenance adjustments that
may result in significant energy
and cost savings.
Alliant Energy will reimburse 50% of the RCx Study cost upon completion of the
study. Alliant Energy will reimburse the remaining 50% of the study cost after
the RCx Study recommendations with a payback of two years or less have been
completed and verified.
Commercial
New Construction
Design energy
savings
A customized energy model simulates energy use for your facility, demonstrating
which strategies have the greatest impact and are the most cost-effective.
Strategies are then selected by the building owner and their design team,
assisted by the energy design consultant.
Systems available for energy modeling include:
• Daylighting controls
• Load responsive equipment
• Envelope
• Outside air control
• Heating and cooling • Window layouts
• Lighting controls and design
Customers interested in the Commercial New Construction program should
contact Alliant Energy before design development. This allows time to incorporate
energy-efficient strategies into the building process.
Energy-efficient buildings use
less energy and cost less to
operate. Alliant Energy’s

Multifamily is defined as more than three units in one building shell, three
stories or less, located on one lot. Multifamily new construction or major
renovation projects with commercial and residential mixed usage are now
eligible to participate in the Commercial New Construction program, subject
to screening and approval.
Commercial New Construction
program provides free energy
design assistance and financial
incentives to help offset the
cost of implementing energyefficient strategies. The
program is available to
businesses that have new
construction, additions or
major renovation projects
before the design phase.
