Center for Building Knowledge

CBK, under contract to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Clean Energy Program, conducted a comprehensive study to evaluate the feasibility of a implementing an energy efficient operations and maintenance incentive program within New Jersey.   The study resulted in a series of recommendations including strategies, budgets, anticipated outcomes and evaluation methods that could be the basis of a pilot program in this area.  A core goal was to create a program that would eventually be self sustaining and that would rely, to the extent possible, on current building owners to perpetuate.  These efforts resulted in a model program, including a mock-up of a web application tool, tentatively titled “Operate Smart” to serve this need.
