New NYC Energy Conservation Code -WORKING SEMINAR

Join us on Thursday, November 17th, 2016 for the 2016 NYC|NYS Energy Conservation Code Master Class and Seminar SERIES in New York City.  Green Building Worldwide’s New York City Energy Conservation Code Seminars and Master Classes provide a break down of best practices for adhering to the newly legislated changes.  Early registration is recommended  - See Registration Link at Bottom of this Page.

MARKET FACTS: Energy Conservation Measures

  • By 2023 building owners are expected to invest 160 billion dollars in energy efficiency and the corresponding technology
  • Energy Conservation Measures alone have the potential yield 2.7 billion dollars in energy cost savings, reduce current building-based emissions by 33 percent and creating approximately 15,000 direct construction-related jobs.  New York City has chosen to take a decided position with respect to addressing the reality that 70 percent of its carbon emissions com from its building stock with the recent enactment of bold legislation
  • 51 percent of Architects, Engineers and Construction firms know that 60 percent of their work will be attributed to sustainability and resiliency 

The construction industry and related professionals will need to understand the scope, general requirements modified by the recent changes to the New York City Energy Conservation Code. 

 NYC desires to improve efficiency and information transparency in mid-sized buildings and non-residential spaces. The City Council and the Mayor worked together to introduce a series of bills which will now require mid-sized buildings  to upgrade their lighting systems, sub-meter their commercial tenant spaces, and benchmark their annual energy use.  The City will also require retro-commissioning, tuning-up of all building systems.

The Discussion: Manual and Online Resources Included

  • Scope and General Requirements of the amended NYC Energy Conservation Code
  • Overview of Construction Documents
  • Key Steps for Passing Inspections
The City will begin implementing the top actions immediately. These include the new energy code that requires holistic energy performance, requiring comprehensive retrofits to heating distribution systems, integrating capital planning for deep energy reductions into existing energy audit requirements, and incorporating the energy conservation measures (ECM).
