It was designed to reduce New York City\u2019s overall greenhouse gas emissions by 40% (2030), and upto 80% (2050). With being one year closer to the CMA, it\u2019s high time the city is well prepared to act on the commitments such as the NYC Local Law 97.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>GHG is the primary driver of the unprecedented rate at which climate change is taking place. Reducing emissions thus, from buildings is most significant as buildings contribute nearly three-quarters of citywide emissions owing to the consumption pattern vis-a-vis electricity use, HVAC, etc, The legislation with its package of bills aims to evolve these consumption patterns for optimum efficiency and via cleaner energy sources.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To facilitate the ambitious goal, a series of bills were passed. The centerpiece of the legislation is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecotocongroup.com\/nyc-local-law-97\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Local Law 97<\/a>, among other laws. This is the part of the bill which specifically mandates what the greenhouse emissions limits are for each building type. More than 50,000 buildings will get impacted overall. In 2024, about 25% of those will be directly affected by the carbon emissions limit and practically every building in NYC by 2030. A typical commercial office building in midtown Manhattan of 250,000 sq ft. producing over 1.5 tons of stipulated carbon limits will be looking at a fine of over $100,000, and progressively for each year that follows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Local Law 97<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was enacted in 2019 as part of the Climate Mobilization Act to essentially place hard carbon caps on various building types &#8211; residential or commercial, that are larger than 25,000 sq ft. <\/span><b>The law gets implemented in 2024<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, only to become more stringent with time to accomplish its grander goal of 80% carbon reduction by 2050.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many buildings have significantly reported being way over permissible limits requiring immediate intervention with retrofitting and alternative compliance. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exemptions include houses of worship, hospitals, and residential buildings. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Which buildings are affected by NYC Local Law 97?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Non-compliance is tied to harsh financial penalties that get worse over time. For example, a 1 million sq ft commercial office building which is just 10% above the 2024 carbon limit will be looking at a penalty of about $230,000 every year till 2029. From 2029-2030, the permissible carbon limit will be further reduced by a staggering 50% equating to a $1,200,000 penalty every year till 2034. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.
