This incentive is available for controls that stop the recirculation of fluid within the snow melt piping system during periods without snow or ice presence (on the ground, based on weather conditions).

Required Documentation:
• Detailed description and specifications of the proposed control system.
• Total square footage of heated pavement.
• Applicability: Eligible for both replacement of existing systems and new construction projects.
• Qualifying Efficiency Requirement:
o Controllers must be able to fully shut off (not just idle) when no precipitation is detected.
o The Building Automation System (BAS) should be capable of accessing weather forecasts to activate the snow/ice melt system, maintaining an idle slab temperature of around 32°F for about 8 hours before a forecasted precipitation event.
• Exclusions: The installation of surface temperature setpoint controls and/or moisture controls that turn off the snow melt system.
• Other requirements:
o A slab moisture sensor is required to allow the slab temperature to rise to 40°F during moisture events, (ensuring effective melting only when necessary).
