Section 135-F. Energy audits

1.  Upon  the  request of either an eligible
  customer or a landlord, each utility shall conduct an  energy  audit  of
  the  customer's residential premises or the landlord's multiple dwelling
  and promptly provide the results  of  the  audit  to  such  customer  or
  landlord in a manner prescribed by the chairman. No charge shall be made
  for such audits. In addition, on or before March first, nineteen hundred
  eighty-two,  each  utility  shall,  as  part  of the promotional program
  established by the chairman, (i) inform each of its  eligible  customers
  in  writing  that an energy audit of the customer's residential premises
  is available without charge, and (ii) inform each  landlord  in  writing
  that  an  energy  audit  of  his  multifamily dwelling is available at a
  charge which shall be set by the chairman and not  exceed  five  hundred
  dollars for each building; except in multiple building complexes, heated
  by  a single, central boiler system. In such cases, the commission shall
  set fair and reasonable audit fees. A customer or landlord shall only be
  eligible for one audit under this  section,  provided  however,  that  a
  customer  who  received an audit prior to the inclusion of solar or wind
  energy systems within the home conservation  plans  authorized  by  this
  article  shall  be  entitled  to  a second limited audit to consider the
  energy savings and costs that would result from  adding  solar  or  wind
  energy systems to his premises.
    2. Each audit shall include:
    (a)  estimates  of the energy conservation measures, if any, needed to
  comply with applicable minimum criteria;
    (b) estimates of available options for meeting such criteria, together
  with their relative costs and pay-back periods, and  relative  potential
  energy  and  cost savings on a monthly and yearly basis, a comparison of
  initial cost and pay-back periods  for  customer  installation  and  for
  contractor installation and the price of fuel on which any comparison is
  based;
    (c)  for  the  purposes of this section, the term "energy conservation
  measures"  shall  mean,  when  used  with  respect  to  audits  provided
  landlords,  those  measures set forth for multifamily dwellings in Title
  VII of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act  together  with  such
  other  measures  consistent  with  the  standards of this article as the
  chairman shall specify.
