New York City (NYC) has been qualified by its leadership in green construction and sustainability, not only in the United States but also worldwide. It is reflected by the laws (Local Laws 84, 85, 87, and 88) which were passed under the initiative like Greener, Greater Buildings Plan (GGBP) project in 2009, and the Climate Mobilization Act in 2019 started by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by Mayor Bloomberg (former mayor of New York City) in 2009.
It is one of the four laws introduced by the GGBP, commonly known as the Benchmarking Law. NYC Local Law 84 and Local Law 133 (LL84/LL133) require property managers and owners of buildings in New York City that are large to mid-size buildings (larger than 25,000 square feet) to submit the building’s energy and in some cases, water consumption data too, to the City of New York (US Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Portfolio Manager) on an annual basis (on May 1st each year).
The recorded data should showcase the energy and water consumption of buildings including the details from all utility accounts along with addresses that are connected to your building including those for separately metered tenant spaces.
This law pertains to all the buildings in New York City that are greater than 25,000 square feet within five boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island.
