Retrofit the well-pump motor to high-efficiency + VFD, well 2 -- a vegetable and onion farm on an IID groundwater well pump west of Calipatria, CA 92233.

The audit found well 2's constant-speed pump motor running well below its rated efficiency, burning real electricity against Imperial Valley's high summer demand charges; swapping in a high-efficiency motor with a variable-frequency drive matches output to actual field demand and cuts that draw immediately.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

licensed-electrician lockout/permit record + before/after nameplate photos + commissioning sheet + post-retrofit amperage re-test + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• tape measure
• light meter (lighting scope)
• clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope)
• 12-month utility bills
• camera
• ladder + spotter (high fixtures)

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
3. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
4. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
5. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
6. 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
7. 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign.

What counts as done

• Licensed-electrician lockout-tagout and permit record for the motor swap
• Before photo of the old constant-speed motor nameplate
• Commissioning sheet for the new high-efficiency motor + VFD (rated efficiency, drive parameters)
• Post-retrofit amperage/flow re-test showing the reduced electrical draw at matched output

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
