New Jersey Clean Energy Program Local Government Energy Audit (LGEA) Program

The Built Environment and Green Building Group of the Center for Urban Policy Research (CUPR), formerly, Rutgers Center for Green Building (RCGB), conducted a process evaluation of the Local Government Energy Audit (LGEA) program, which is currently managed by the Program Administrator, TRC, and funded through the New Jersey Clean Energy Program (NJCEP.)  The LGEA program implements ASHRAE Level 2 audits at no charge to the participant in eligible facilities owned by municipalities, school districts, 501(c)(3) non-profits, and other local and state government entities to provide participants with information on how their facilities use energy, identify energy conservation measures (ECMs) that can reduce energy use, and assist participants in implementing these ECMs, by guiding them to appropriate NJCEP programs and associated financial incentives. The NJCEP and utilities do not claim energy savings for the LGEA program.
