[Equest-users] Incentives for NU Modelers and LEED APs

[David Eldridge]

I think it is very relevant to the forum.



In my opinion, BEMP would be a useful accreditation for a reviewer as well,
especially since not all PEs may be experienced with the
calculations/programs/etc.



The PE requirement seems to be similar to the tax deduction guidelines, so I
wouldn’t say that it is unprecedented.

I realize that this message might not be appropriate to the forum, but it is
the only way I know to contact the other simulators that will be affected by
Northeast Utilities modeling requirements. NU covers CT and Western
Massachusetts.

Some of you might know that NU is offering sizable incentives for modeling,
improvements over ASHRAE 90.1 and LEED certification.

The program is new for 2011 and NU just made the decision that the model has
to be review and approved by a PE, any PE.  Even if LEED approves your
application, it still needs to be vetted by a PE to qualify for an
incentive.

If you are unhappy with this decision and find it is discriminatory, please
e-mail James Motta mottaj at NU.com.

Thank you,

Paul Diglio
