Local Law 97.

What the law requires

• Covers most buildings larger than 25,000 square feet, and groups of buildings on one lot that add up to more than 50,000 square feet.
• Emissions limits took effect in 2024 and become stricter in 2030 and again in later periods.
• Buildings over their limit face a penalty of $268 for each ton of CO₂ over the limit, for every year they're over.

Where controls help

Heating, cooling and ventilation are usually a building's biggest energy users, and they're only as efficient as the controls that run them. The work we do is the part that makes upgrades pay off:

• Building management systems that schedule equipment and hold setpoints instead of running everything around the clock
• Controls for electric heat pumps and VRF systems that replace or supplement fossil-fuel heating
• Energy recovery ventilators, demand-controlled ventilation and CO₂ sensing
• BTU meters, flow meters and trend data, so owners can see what's using energy

We work alongside your mechanical engineer, controls contractor and mechanical contractor. We don't do energy audits or compliance filings; we install and wire the systems that get you there.
