Practical writing on sustainability assessments, NJ incentive programs, and what the five-domain framework reveals on the ground. Updated as engagements and programs evolve.
These notes are specific, not aspirational. The goal is useful information for people actually considering a sustainability assessment — what the process involves, what incentives exist and what caveats come with them, and what the five-domain framework turns up on real sites.
A one-person practice has to be fast without cutting corners. The in-house, integration-driven AI workflow that compresses the hours between site visit and delivered report — and the deliberate constraints that keep it eco-friendly.
Energy is the most discussed lever, but rarely the only one worth pulling. A domain-by-domain walkthrough of what the assessment examines and why the sequence matters.
§25C, §25D, the NJ Clean Energy Program, and PSE&G rebates — mapped by program, with the mechanics and the caveats you need before acting on any of them.
