NU covers CT and Western Massachusetts.<br><br>Some of you might know that NU is offering sizable incentives for modeling, improvements over ASHRAE 90.1 and LEED certification.<br><br>The program is new for 2011 and NU just made the decision that the model has to be review and approved by a PE, any PE. Even if LEED approves your application, it still needs to be vetted by a PE to qualify for an incentive.<br><br>If you are unhappy with this decision and find it is discriminatory, please e-mail James Motta mottaj@NU.com.<br><br>Thank you,<br><br>Paul Diglio<br></div>
