A five-domain sustainability assessment for small businesses, nonprofits, and homeowners — broader than a single-domain energy audit, more rigorous than a free checklist, priced for the customer actually asking.
An assessment scored against ENERGY STAR, EPA WaterSense, and ISO 14001 principles — not a certified energy audit, and honest about the difference.
Each domain is scored 1–5 against best-practice frameworks. The deliverable is a written report — 10–15 pages for a full five-domain bundle, or 3–5 pages per single domain if you only want one or two — with prioritized recommendations and a short list of federal, state, and utility incentives you may qualify for.
Independent cafés, restaurants, retail, houses of worship, community organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits in Union County and the surrounding region.
$150–$300 full five-domain assessment, or $90 single-domain à la carte (+$50/domain).

A BPI/RESNET energy audit ($400–$700) goes deep on energy alone. The five-domain assessment is broader by design — designed to tell you where the bill savings actually are before you decide whether a deep audit is worth the cost.
Recommendations are ordered by real impact and real cost — not by what's easiest to put on a marketing page. The report's independence is the actual product.
15-minute call. We scope the site, the timeline, and whether you want the full bundle or a focused single-domain.
Half-day walkthrough (≈ 3–4 hours). Conversation with you or your staff, photos, document review of utility bills and prior work.
1–2 weeks after the visit. Scoring per domain, 5–10 prioritized recommendations ordered by impact and cost, incentive map.
30-minute call within 14 days of report delivery to walk through any questions and confirm next steps.
Balchunas Sustainability is a solo practice in its customer-discovery phase. Pre-revenue. The first paid pilot is targeted for August 2026, after entity formation and liability insurance are bound. We say so because the alternative is overstating, and the alternative is what we exist to push back against.
This is a sustainability-management framework assessment conducted against ENERGY STAR, EPA WaterSense, and ISO 14001 principles. It is not a BPI- or RESNET-certified energy audit, a structural or code-compliance inspection, a contractor scope-of-work, or a guarantee that any specific incentive will be approved by the issuing agency. Recommendations are advisory. Engage appropriately licensed contractors and verify incentive eligibility before making financial commitments.
