TABLE 18-ENERGY PRICES IN 1977 DOLLARS PER MILLION BTUS; FEA REGION VIII-NORTH CENTRAL-Continued TABLE 19-ENERGY PRICES IN 1977 DOLLARS PER MILLION BTUS; FEA REGION IX-WESTERN TABLE 20-ENERGY PRICES IN 1977 DOLLARS PER MILLION BTUS; FEA REGION X-NORTHWESTERN [42 FR 33166, June 24, 1977. Redesignated and amended at 44 FR 37938, June 29, 1979] 1The discount factors presented in the table above assume end-of-year lump-sum costs and returns. When costs and returns occur in a steady stream, applying mid-year discount factors may be appropriate. Present value cost and benefit computed from this table can be converted to a midyear discounting basis by multiplying them by the factor 1.048809. (For example, if the present value cost of a series of annual expenditures computed from the above table is $1,200.00, the present value cost on a mid-year discounting basis is $1,200.00 x 1.048809 or $1,258.57.)

SOURCE: 50 FR 18353, Apr. 30, 1985, unless otherwise noted. Subpart A-General Provisions § 455.1 Purpose and scope. (a) This part establishes programs of financial assistance pursuant to Parts 1 and 2 of Title III of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, Pub. L. 95-619, 92 Stat. 3238 (42 U.S.C. 6371 et seq.) which add Parts G and H, respectively, to Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Pub. L. 94-163, 89 Stat. 901 (42 U.S.C. 6291). (b) This subpart authorizes grants to States or to public or nonprofit schools and hospitals to assist them in conducting preliminary energy audits and energy audits, in identifying and implementing energy conservation maintenance and operating procedures, and in evaluating, acquiring and installing energy conservation measures, including renewable resource measures, to reduce the energy use and anticipated energy costs of buildings owned by schools and hospitals. (c) This subpart also authorizes grants to States or units of local government and public care institutions to assist them in conducting preliminary energy audits and energy audits, in identifying and implementing energy conservation maintenance and operating procedures, and evaluating energy conservation measures, including renewable resource measures, to reduce the energy use and anticipated energy costs of buildings owned by units of local government and public care institutions. § 455.2 Definitions. "Act," as used in this part, means the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Pub. L. 94-163, 89 Stat. 871 (42 U.S.C. 6201 et seq.), as amended by Title III of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, Pub. L. 95-619, 92 Stat. 3238 (42 U.S.C. 6371). "Auditor" means any person who is qualified in accordance with 10 CFR 450.44 to conduct an energy audit. "Building" means any structure, the construction of which was completed on or before April 20, 1977, which includes a heating or cooling system, or both. "Civil rights requirements" means civil rights responsibilities of applicants and grantees pursuant to the Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs regulation of the Department of Energy (10 CFR Part 1040). "Complex" means a closely situated group of buildings on a contiguous site, or a closely situated group of buildings served by a central utility plant, such as a college campus or a multi-building hospital. "Construction completion" means the date of issuance of an occupancy permit for a building or the date the building is ready for occupancy as determined by DOE. "Cooling degree days" means the annual sum of the number of Fahrenheit degrees of each day's mean temperature above 65° for a given locality. "Coordinating agency" means any public or nonprofit organization legally constituted within a State for either administrative control or services for a group of institutions within a State and which acts, and is authorized by eligible institutions to so act, as the agent for such institutions with respect to their participation in the program. "DOE" means the Department of Energy. "Energy audit" means any survey of a building or complex conducted in accordance with the requirements of § 455.19. "Energy conservation maintenance measure" "Energy conservation means an installation or modification of an installation in a building which is primarily intended to reduce energy consumption or allow the use of an alternative energy source and which may contain integral control and measurement devices, but which is not an installation of leased equipment, including, but not limited to (a) Insulation of the building structure and systems within the building; (b) Storm windows and doors, multiglazed windows and doors, heat absorbing or heat reflective glazed and coated windows and door systems, additional glazing, reductions in glass area, and other window and door systems modifications; (c) Automatic energy control systems which would reduce energy consumption; (d) Equipment required to operate variable steam, hydraulic, and ventilating systems adjusted by automatic energy control systems; (e) Active or passive solar space heating or cooling systems, solar electric generating systems, or any combination thereof; (f) Active or passive solar water heating systems; (g) Furnace or utility plant and distribution system modifications including (1) Replacement burners, furnaces, boilers, or any combination thereof, which substantially increase the energy efficiency of the heating system; (2) Devices for modifying flue openings which will increase the energy efficiency of the heating system; (3) Electrical or mechanical furnace ignition systems which replace standing gas pilot lights; and (4) Utility plant system conversion measures including conversion of existing oil and gas-fired boiler installations to alternative energy sources, including coal; (h) Addition of caulking and weatherstripping; (i) Replacement or modification of lighting fixtures to increase the energy efficiency of the lighting system without increasing the overall illumination of a facility, unless such increase in illumination is necessary to conform to any applicable State or local building code or, if no such code applies, the increase is considered appropriate by the Secretary; (j) Energy recovery systems; (k) Cogeneration systems which produce steam or forms of energy such as heat, as well as electricity for use primarily within a building or a complex of buildings owned by an eligible institution and which meet such fuel efficiency requirements as the Secretary may by rule prescribe; (1) Such other measures as the Secretary identifies by rule for purposes of this part, as set forth in Subpart D of 10 CFR Part 450; and (m) Such other measures as a grant application shows will save a substantial amount of energy and are identified in an energy audit in accordance with § 455.19, its equivalent, an energy use evaluation, or a technical assistance report.
