Summary

After outreach to Eversource contact Nick Petipas, the committee learned of a potentially 100%-paid Comprehensive Building Assessment (CBA) similar to the RISE study but with an energy-savings focus; the committee will schedule an informational meeting with Nick and his technical person, Greg, to determine scope and cost-sharing options.

The committee reported that outreach to Nick Petipas at Eversource yielded information about a 100% paid Comprehensive Building Assessment option that could be relevant to local electrification and efficiency planning. The CBA would include an added energy-savings layer and may resemble earlier RISE work, though committee members noted differences in scope and in the RISE study’s inclusion of an expensive control system and refrigerant/piping items they had not requested.

Members discussed the potential to share costs on larger scoping studies if the committee commits to a specific task and pays half of the scope; they agreed to schedule an informational meeting with Nick and his technical person, Greg, to define the study type the town needs and to consider returning to RISE for more narrowly focused work if that better matches committee priorities.
