DEMAND CONTROL VENTILATION (DCV) Requirements:
• Complete Table G of the “2026 HVAC Rebate Requirements and Supplemental Data Sheet” for the measure code H2853 listed below. Complete Table H of the "2026 HVAC Rebate Requirements and Supplemental Data Sheet" for the measure code H3266 listed below. • For air handling units (AHU) and rooftop units (RTU), DCV controls must measure CO 2 levels in the conditioned space and provide the code required minimum level of outside air without over-ventilating. Sensors should be wall-mounted at an appropriate height within the space. Sensors may be installed in return air ductwork only if space mounting is not possible and the return duct serves a single zone. • DCV for AHU measure is intended for central air handling units which have multiple individually controlled spaces and will require a CO 2 sensor in each occupied zone served by the AHU. Unit ventilators may be eligible for the multiple zone rebate (MMID 2853) as long as all other requirements are met, including a functioning economizer. • If system is custom-built using a CO 2 sensor and the buildings, existing automation system, provide a copy of the control sequence that was programmed into the building automation system.

PRO TIP Spaces with large variations in occupancy are great candidates for DCV. Controls allow the HVAC system to determine the proper level of ventilation without creating unnecessary heating and cooling loads.
PRO TIP CO 2 sensors with a 2% accuracy rating are recommended for long-term reliability.
PARKING GARAGE VENTILATION CONTROLS Requirements:
• Complete Table I of the “HVAC Rebate Requirements and Supplemental Data Sheet” for this measure. • “Garage Size (sq ft),” “Heating System Capacity,” “Heating System Efficiency,” and “Heating Set Point” are only required for heated garages. • Install carbon monoxide (CO) controls to control parking garage exhaust fans that meet all state and local codes. • Current system must run 24/7. • Heated garages must be heated by either natural gas furnaces, natural gas unit heaters, or hot water/steam foam on an on-site natural gas boiler. Garages heated by municipal steam systems (i.e., “city steam”) are not eligible.
