HOT WATER AND STEAM DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
General Requirements: Only systems with steam and hot water produced by natural gas equipment (and electric equipment if specifically allowed in the requirements below) are eligible for incentives. Systems with equipment fueled by propane or oil are NOT eligible for incentives. STEAM TRAP MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Requirements: • Repair incentive is only available for the repair or replacement of traps that have malfunctioned and are leaking steam. Repair incentive is not available for traps that are failed closed or are plugged. • Surveys are optional. A customer may apply for the repair incentive only to repair or replace known failed steam traps. Repairs do not need to be made at one time, but only one repair incentive per trap can be applied for in a heating season. Survey incentives are available only once per heating season per steam system. Survey cost must be shown on the invoice. • To qualify for the survey incentive, customer must repair or replace one trap for every five traps surveyed. If less than one trap per every five traps surveyed is identified as failed, then all failed traps must be repaired or replaced. In the case where all identified failed traps must be repaired or replaced, customer may provide written explanation for a trap that cannot be repaired or replaced and may still qualify for an incentive. • Mass replacement of traps can be completed without condition assessment. Focus on Energy will assume 20% of traps were leaking and pay a repair incentive for 20% of the total traps replaced (rounded to the nearest whole number) and no survey incentive. • For projects that do not complete a steam trap survey, provide the nominal steam pressure (psig) on the application or in other supporting documentation provided with the incentive application. • Must be a central plant type arrangement that serves multiple dwelling units in the multifamily building. • Steam trap survey and repair work must be recorded in a log sheet and attached to the application in order to be eligible for the survey incentive. Trade Ally must create and fill in the log as work is completed. Required fields (minimum): • ID Tag Number. • Location Description. • Nominal Steam Pressure. • Trap Type. • Indicate Condition for Each Steam Trap (choose one of the following): • Functioning Properly. • Malfunctioning Not Leaking Steam. • Malfunctioning Leaking Steam. • Survey Date/Repair Date. • Survey/Repair Technician Name. • Orifice Size (if repaired or replaced). • Notes.
