<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; widows: 1;">With recent legislation, new construction and major renovations of New York City-owned buildings now have to meet some of the highest efficiency standards in the nation. <a href="http://urbangreencouncil.org/content/news/next-gen-lean-and-green-nyc-owned-buildings" style="text-decoration: none;">Local
Laws 31 and 32 of 2016</a> amend the city’s current sustainability requirements and introduce new measures that will make municipal buildings some of the most efficient in the country. LL31 requires all capital projects on city-owned property to use no more
than 50 percent of the energy used today. LL32 will require all capital projects for city-owned properties to achieve a minimum of LEED v4 Gold certification.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; widows: 1;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; widows: 1;">The impact of these local laws promises to reach even further than the city’s vast municipal portfolio—totaling 5 percent of the city’s building stock—as New York’s designers and builders
are driven to create a new generation of hyper-efficient buildings, ultimately advancing building practices in the private sector and perhaps even worldwide given the international reach of many NYC firms.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; widows: 1;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; widows: 1;">Learn about the new laws with policy and design experts, and discuss what they may mean for the building industry.</p>
