Section 460.2406. Providing cost benefit information to customer.

Each  residential   customer  to  whom  residential  conservation measures are offered or furnished under   an  energy   conservation  program shall be provided with cost benefit information regarding such residential conservation measures as they apply to the   customer's  residence.  The standards and methodology used to provide this cost benefit information or to provide cost benefit information under any program authorized by these rules shall be authorized by the commission.   Due  to  the   fact that   no   2 dwellings have exactly the same potential  for  energy  conservation   even

where dwellings have been constructed in a similar fashion, because physical location, habits of occupants, and structural integrity differ, it may be necessary to render an estimate of energy savings for a specific residence on the basis of energy conservation efficiency to be expected, on the average, from installation of specific energy conservation measures in residences with characteristics similar to the residence under consideration. If an estimate of energy conservation efficiency incorporates any averages, that fact shall be clearly disclosed to the residential customer. If such cost benefit  information  pertains  to residential conservation measures to be installed by contractors, as referred to in R 460.2408, the residential conservation customer shall be informed as to whether costs are based on an actual contractor bid for the customer's premises or an estimate thereof.
