Laboratory Equipment Rebates Rebate Goal: Environmentally Preferred Procurement (EPP) Supplement to strategic contracts with sustainability criteria Focuses only on payback—e.g. energy Shift buyers Shift the market
Laboratory Equipment Rebates Types of Rebates • Replacement vs. old equipment • Baseline measurement important; identify “zombies • New Equipment vs. competitors • Baseline defined by published or measured averages • Sharing??? Not buying • Baseline determined by trust and personal relationship
Laboratory Equipment Rebates Sources • Regional Utility Company • Needs a serial # of replacement or data trail • Campus Utility/Facilities Department • Determined by campus policy • Deans • Occurs when Schools billed for utilities
Rebates vs. Level Benchmark: $ $ $ $ $$ $$ $ W/CFB = 40
Rebates vs. Declining Benchmark: $ $ $ $ $$ $$ $
Penalty vs. ceiling benchmark? $ $ $ $ $$ $$ $
Idealized Calculations Energy Savings: $S = (W/CFB-W/CFF) * CF * Y * $/kWh * h/Y Rebate: $R = % * $S W/CFB Watts/CF Benchmark CF Cubic Feet volume W/CFF Watts/CF New Freezer Y Years Projected Savings $/kWh Electricity cost % Rebate portion Savings
Survey Questions • Equipment Type • Criteria • Energy Measurement Required? • Rebate Amounts; Total Budget • Duration & number • Fund Source & Admin
Survey “Method” • 100+ :”Green Labs Planning” members polled nationwide
