Peer Request
To complement their work on energy efficiency and
sustainability a local government is pursuing virtual
net metering projects for their city. The local government
is looking for specific details on cost, who paid for the project,
payback for tenants, generation going to tenants including $ values, and
who is managing allocations. If you can provide a contact or information
on this subject please contact me at cgarcia@lgc.org.

Efficiency Research

inspection processes to promote energy efficiency upgrades and deter
low-performing or unpermitted improvements. Please contact me at cgarica@lgc.org
if you are willing to share your experience for this research project.
