Local Law 97 (LL97) is a groundbreaking piece of legislation enacted by New York City aimed at combating climate change. It sets stringent carbon emissions limits for buildings larger than 25,000 square feet, starting in 2024. The law mandates that buildings reduce their greenhouse gas emissions significantly over time, with penalties for non-compliance. LL97 represents a major step towards achieving the city's ambitious emissions reduction goals and transitioning to a more sustainable future.

Local Law 87 (LL87) is a regulation in New York City that requires buildings over 50,000 square feet, or multiple buildings on the same tax lot totaling over 100,000 square feet, to undergo energy audits and retro-commissioning every ten years. Energy audits assess a building's energy usage and efficiency, while retro-commissioning ensures that its systems are operating as intended. LL87 aims to identify opportunities for energy savings and efficiency improvements, ultimately helping to reduce the city's overall energy consumption and environmental impact.

Local Law 84 (LL84) is a requirement in New York City for building owners to annually benchmark and report their energy and water usage. This applies to buildings larger than 25,000 square feet, as well as multiple buildings on the same tax lot that together exceed 100,000 square feet. Benchmarking involves tracking and reporting energy and water consumption data, which helps identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and supports the city's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. LL84 aims to increase transparency about energy usage, empower building owners to make informed decisions about energy efficiency, and drive progress towards a more sustainable built environment.

Local Law 33 (LL33) is a regulation in New York City focused on improving energy efficiency in buildings that requires buildings larger than 25,000 square feet to publicly display an energy efficiency grade based on their energy use intensity, ranging from A to F. These are intended to inform tenants and the public about a building's energy performance relative to similar structures.
