ELECTRONICALLY COMMUTATED MOTOR (ECM) HVAC FAN MOTORS Common Area Requirements: • This incentive is for the installation of an electronically commutated motor (ECM) ≤1 HP on air handling equipment such as exhaust fans, fan coil units, fan powered VAV boxes, unit heaters, and cabinet heaters. • Furnaces with ECM and single package vertical units with ECM do not qualify for this incentive, as the ECM is already covered by the Furnace measures in the Forced Air and Radiant Heat section of this catalog. • Choose the measure code from the table below depending on when the fan operates: “heating only” for equipment that only runs during the heating season, “cooling only” for equipment that only runs during the cooling season, “occupied ventilation” for equipment that runs during the heating and cooling season or for scheduled exhaust fans, and “24/7 ventilation” for fans that run continuously. • New motors may be an upgrade or replace either shaded pole or permanent split capacitor motors. Replacement of an existing ECM does not qualify.
• A manufacturer specification sheet that includes motor HP must be provided. • Incentive available for common areas only. For individual units, please see below.
