New York City launched local law 97 in 2019 to reduce carbon emissions from buildings as part of the Climate Mobilization Act. This new york city local law 97 sets carbon ceilings on buildings that occupy an area of over 25,000 square feet. These caps begin in 2024 and will become stricter over time, eventually reducing emissions by 80 percent by 2050. This NYC local law 97 law is the most aspiring building emissions law enforced by any city globally.
Process to handle LL97 with IAG Energy
The Climate Mobilization Act is a group of laws passed by the New York City Council on April 18, 2019. Local Law 97 (Building Emissions Act) is the heart of the package and is the most effective. In addition, the package includes other important legislation related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including sustainable energy loans (called PACE financing), mandatory green roofs, and energy storage assessments.
Generally, if a property is subject to New York City benchmarking law (requiring an annual report on energy and water use), then the building is subject to emissions law.
Buildings use a wide range of energy, including electricity, natural gas, various fuel oils, and local steam. Carbon emissions are mainly from burning fossil fuels.
These different types of energy use release different amounts of carbon. To calculate carbon emissions in buildings, the use of every kind of energy to convert from energy use to carbon emissions must be multiplied by the "emission factor" (also called the "greenhouse gas factor")
One of the primary reasons is that variations in the source of electricity flowing into the New York City electrical grid change the emission factor for electricity.
Yes. Covered buildings must comply with applicable emission limits or other requirements, regardless of compliance with energy laws.
Energy-saving will be the most effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of a building. Different fuels have different carbon densities, so targeting carbon-intensive fuels will save carbon.
The first step in lowering costs is to train building operations personnel in best practices for energy efficiency. Changes in equipment schedules, temperature setpoints, and other properties can reduce energy consumption without incurring additional costs. IAG Energy's operations and maintenance essentials will enable the building crew to make these adjustments and save energy on the spot.
