1-33B-2. Energy conservation measure defined--Inclusions--Limitation.

For the purposes of this chapter, the term, energy conservation measure, means a training program or facility alteration intended to reduce either energy consumption or operating costs, or both, or increase operating revenues through the generation of energy, renewable energy, or improved metering technology, including the following:

(4) Replacement or modification to increase the energy efficiency of the lighting, heating, air conditioning, or ventilating systems;
