Or. Admin. R. 330-135-0036
For energy use efficiency improvements, eligible costs include only those incremental costs that are directly associated with achievement of the energy use efficiency performance requirements in section 330-135-0031. Only the additional costs of energy use efficiency improvements compared to the cost of baseline equipment or baseline building performance shall be eligible. The contracting agency shall determine the appropriate incremental costs and submit information to ODOE as requested to document and demonstrate the incremental cost. Eligible costs may include but are not limited to the incremental costs of equipment such as light fixtures, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment, envelope materials and assemblies, controls systems, connected building management systems, labor, and system commissioning. Any incentives received for energy use efficiency improvements do not reduce or impact the amount of expenditure on energy use efficiency for the purposes of determining compliance with the requirements or ORS 279C.527, 279C.528, and these rules.
