Amount is per fan horsepower. Whole horsepower shall be calculated at a project level using one of the following two methods:
- Sum the horsepower for all VFDs installed, then round to the nearest whole horsepower; or
- Round the horsepower for each individual VFD to the nearest whole horsepower, then sum all rounded horsepower amounts.
The AHRI certificate for each model installed is required for the heat pump rebates (DHP, ASHP, PTHP).
