NYC Department of Buildings — Local Law Compliance
Energy Consulting Services has been in business for over forty years. We do the job correctly the first time.
NYC DOB Local Law 84 — Energy Benchmarking
NYC DOB LL84 requires energy benchmarking for buildings over 25,000 square feet to be filed yearly. This is a mandatory DOB requirement with a $300 per year penalty accumulating every year for not filing. Energy benchmarking allows building owners to see their energy usage performance on a scale of 0 to 100 on how that building performs against other buildings of the same type and usage. Your building's energy usage by fuel type and building parameters are input to the program to yield your score. This is a way of seeing how badly your building needs an energy tune up. Energy Consulting Services will provide this service to you.
NYC DOB Local Law 87 — Energy Audits & Retro-Commissioning
NYC DOB LL87 requires buildings over 50,000 square feet to have a minimum DOE Level II energy audit with a comprehensive energy retro-commissioning report every ten years. To know when your building is due, look at your lot and block number — the last number of your block number is the last number of the year it is due. For example, a block number ending in 4 is due by 12/31/2014. This energy usage report allows the building owner to know how efficiently energy is being used in their facility, as well as recommendations for energy retrofit projects and what those projects will cost and save in the years to come. The retro-commissioning report is the required tune-up of existing equipment. Do not wait until the end of your filing year to engage us — to do this work properly it can take three months or more. The DOB has up to ten years to audit the submitted report. The fine for non-compliance is $3,000 for the first year and $5,000 every year thereafter.
NYC DOB Local Law 97 — Carbon Emissions
NYC DOB LL97 requires most buildings over 25,000 square feet to reduce their carbon emissions. Buildings of different usages have different permissible limits with financial penalties starting in 2024. Over time the carbon limits get stricter with increased costs for non-compliance. The goal is to reduce your building's carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050 from a baseline year of 2005. Current law requires an inventory of all energy sources consumed on-site and their carbon emission equivalent (tCO2e/sf) on an annual basis starting in 2022. Energy Consulting Services, Inc. has for over 40 years provided comprehensive facility reviews to develop proactive infrastructure improvement plans. This depth of knowledge is key to successfully mitigating the impact of LL97. We provide turnkey mechanical and electrical solutions along with creative financial resources. The overall cost for LL97 compliance is estimated at 20 billion dollars to the year 2030 with a labor force growth of 126,000.
