PM03: Permanence and Eligible Cost Test

One boundary to know: the improvement must be permanently affixed to the real property. A rooftop unit qualifies, a portable cooling unit does not, and that line is where eligible cost stops. Four questions applied in order — is it affixed, does it stay with the building, is it on the assessed parcel, and whose property is it — worked against twelve real measures with the reasoning for each. Once a measure passes, the financeable amount is broader than the equipment invoice, and the sheet lists eight categories that routinely go inside the package. Closes with three instructions for the scoping conversation with a contractor who has never worked with C-PACE, because scoping is where projects quietly fail and the owner reads that delay as your delay.
