What We Do
Every service we offer starts with one question: what's actually in the best interest of the building owner? From LL97 strategy to full capital project delivery, we work independently — no vendor relationships, no conflicts of interest.
Service 01
Local Law 97 is the most aggressive building emissions law in the United States. It sets carbon intensity limits for buildings over 25,000 square feet in NYC — limits that tighten every five years — with fines of $268 per metric ton of CO₂ over the threshold.
Most building owners don't have a clear picture of where they stand. We change that. We translate your building's actual energy consumption into a precise compliance assessment, model your exposure across all three penalty periods, and develop a realistic, cost-effective strategy to reduce your liability before the penalties compound.
We also identify every available incentive — NYSERDA programs, Con Edison rebates, IRA tax credits — to offset the cost of compliance upgrades. There's often more available than building owners realize.
Service 02
Energy upgrade projects — boiler replacements, electrification, HVAC overhauls, building envelope improvements — are among the largest capital expenditures a building owner will ever make. They're also among the most technically complex, with performance outcomes that are easy to promise and hard to verify.
When the contractor is managing the design engineer and the owner has no independent technical voice, corners get cut, specifications drift, and the promised energy savings never fully materialize. We prevent that.
We act as a fully independent technical representative for the building owner throughout the entire project lifecycle — from defining scope and vetting contractors to verifying construction quality and confirming the system actually performs as designed. Our loyalty is to the outcome, not the contract.
Service 03
LL97 compliance doesn't happen on its own. For most buildings, it requires a coordinated series of capital projects executed over a multi-year timeline — each with its own contractors, budgets, schedules, and technical dependencies.
Without experienced project management, these programs fragment. Contractors miss milestones, budgets drift, decisions get made in a vacuum, and the building ends up spending more than it should for less emissions reduction than it needs.
We bring structure to the entire program: clear schedules, budget tracking, contractor accountability, regular reporting to building ownership, and the technical judgment to make good decisions when problems arise. We don't create urgency for its own sake — we anticipate problems before they escalate, so projects stay on track and relationships stay intact.
How It Works
Every engagement starts the same way: we listen before we recommend. Here's what working with us typically looks like.
We review your building's energy data, existing compliance filings, and capital history to establish a clear baseline — what you're working with, and what's at stake.
We model your LL97 exposure, identify available incentives, and develop a prioritized plan of action — ranked by emissions reduction per dollar spent, not by ease of implementation.
We manage or oversee the work — whether that's a single boiler replacement or a multi-year electrification program — keeping contractors accountable and ownership informed.
We confirm actual performance against projections, support annual LL97 filings, and help you build a compliance record that protects asset value long-term.
