D12. Were any <br />additional calculations <br />required in coming up <br />with the number entered <br />above (this includes <br />adding two or more <br />numbers together)? <br />No <br />D13a. How many <br />YEARS will this <br />emissions reduction take <br />place as a result of your <br />project? Please consider <br />the expected lifetime of <br />the <br />technology/program/impact, <br />etc. Note: Solar <br />installations should enter <br />25 years as the project <br />lifetime. <br />20 <br />D13b. Please explain <br />how you came up with <br />the number of years in <br />the previous question <br />and add any other <br />relevant information. <br />Please list any sources <br />used. (200 word limit) <br />The insulated glass unit of the replacement windows are guaranteed for 20 years, after which any <br />warranty may become prorated. Therefore, based on the longevity of the windows we are <br />replacing, we expect the actual energy savings from this project to extend to 30 years and <br />beyond. <br />D14. Please describe <br />the location of the <br />emissions reduction. <br />W here would fossil fuels <br />have been burned if not <br />for your project? For <br />projects that reduce <br />electricity usage or that <br />generate solar energy, <br />feel free to state “grid- <br />tied electricity reduction” <br />if you cannot determine <br />the location of emissions <br />produced from electric <br />power generation. (200 <br />word limit) <br />W CHA is tied to the electricity grid. Duke Energy is our power company. Duke Energy generates <br />the bulk of electricity on the grid by disproportionally using climate catastrophe-causing fossil <br />fuels (methane and coal). Feeding our regional grid is the four-unit, 2,462-megawatt coal-fired <br />Duke Energy Roxboro Plant, located in Semora, N.C., which is one of the largest power plants in <br />the United States. <br />D15. Please describe <br />any other aspect of your <br />project that is relevant to <br />the amount of emissions <br />that it will reduce or <br />avoid. (250 word limit) <br />All emissions reduced are in the form of avoided electric power usage, the only power available in <br />these residential units. Energy usage reductions have only been considered for the actual units <br />receiving window replacements. Units on lower floors in the same building will experience <br />(uncounted) lower electricity usage as a result of substantially improved insulation on the top floor <br />of the buildings. <br />Criterion 3 - Efficient Use of Funds This criterion has a maximum score of 4 pts (out of a total of <br />26 pts). Please see the Grant Project website for further guidance and the Background and <br />Information document for information about technical assistance. Applicants are encouraged to <br />ask for clarification and technical assistance as early as possible and no later than the posted <br />deadline for questions. <br />D16.
