2024 marks the first compliance period for the groundbreaking building performance standard in New York City known as Local Law 97. The law requires large buildings to go beyond simply reporting emissions and to begin to enact decarbonization standards. Or face fines.
Paul sits with Luke Surowiec of ICF and who is the program director of the New York City Accelerator to talk about the current state of Local Law 97, how buildings are complying with the requirements, what lies ahead, and what other municipalities can learn from NYC Accelerator's experience in getting this off the ground.
