𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗡𝗬𝗖: 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯 - 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝟴𝟰/𝟭𝟯𝟯 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝟴𝟰/𝟭𝟯𝟯 (𝗟𝗟𝟴𝟰/𝟭𝟯𝟯) are NYC regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency in buildings. As part of the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan, LL84 requires owners of buildings larger than 25,000 square feet to annually benchmark their energy and water usage using the EPA's Energy Star Portfolio Manager. This data must be submitted by May 1 each year. Local Law 133 of 2016 revised LL84 in 2016. As per the amendment, there has been a reduction in this reporting property size criteria. From 50,000 sq. ft., it has now come down to 25,000 square feet. Our specialists at The Cotocon Group are here to guide you through compliance.

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality recently released the new Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook, Version 1.0, marking a major step in consolidating and modernizing its regulatory guidance documents for new development, redevelopment, and upgrades (retrofits) to existing development. The Handbook is designed to streamline the permit review process, minimize discrepancies between applicants and regulators, and create a “living document” that is responsive to stakeholder input, technological advances, and evolving needs in the field. This is one of several stormwater-related regulatory initiatives set to take effect later this year. HBAV has compiled a comprehensive guide to assist residential builders, developers, consultants, and other industry partners in navigating the new Handbook and accessing other relevant resources.

Good news for #Michigan commercial real estate projects! Two bills recently signed into law updated #Michigan’s Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) guidelines, making #CPACE financing more accessible to commercial real estate property owners and developers. An energy savings guarantee is no longer required for new construction, and property owners have the option to waive the energy savings guarantee or SIR (savings-to-investment ratio) requirement for retrofit and rehab projects. In addition, environmental hazard projects are now eligible, which includes financing for resiliency measures against severe weather events!   To learn more about C-PACE as a cost-efficient financing tool, please reach out to Christopher Ellis or Francisco Crespo. https://lnkd.in/eQM8-t4t

One of the key challenges for anyone completing building life-cycle assessments is access to accurate, standardized data for effective benchmarking and comparison. How are industry bodies like the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC) taking steps to bring transparency to the forefront and ensure consistency for those performing assessments? Join Stephen Barrett from IGBC and Leonardo Poli from One Click LCA as they explore the challenge of the data dilemma, and what needs to be done to provide access to accurate data in the future: https://lnkd.in/dHCw_p8G #carbonexpertslive #carbonexperts #construction #netzero

The NYC Local Law 97 carbon caps are in effect, and building owners must start bringing their buildings into compliance. Even with all the media about Local Law 97 mandates, the terms “good faith effort,” “electrification readiness,” and “decarbonization plan” may be confusing. Contact NORESCO for clarity and assistance. A customized building plan that meets the NYC Department of Buildings’ requirements could extend your compliance deadline to 2026.
