Within VEIC’s Planning and Evaluation Division, Nick has been responsible for development, design and technical support of New Jersey Clean Energy Program’s (NJCEP) residential HVAC and RNC efficiency programs. Recently his work has included a new Quality Installation Verification initiative, and the coordination of a structural shift from a single-source provider of home energy ratings to an open-market with multiple players. Nick is heading up program planning analyses in support of savings claims for emerging energy efficiency measures including air-source heat pump hot water heaters.
