What We Do
Our services cover LL97 compliance strategy, owner's representation on energy capital projects, and program management. We work independently and are compensated only by our clients.
Service 01
Local Law 97 sets carbon intensity limits for most NYC buildings over 25,000 square feet. The limits tighten in 2030 and again in 2035, and emissions above the limit are subject to a penalty of $268 per metric ton of CO₂e.
We use the building's actual energy consumption to assess its compliance position, estimate exposure in each penalty period, and develop a cost-effective plan to reduce emissions over time.
We also identify incentive programs that can offset upgrade costs, including NYSERDA and Con Edison programs and any federal incentives the project remains eligible for.
Service 02
Boiler replacements, electrification, HVAC upgrades, and envelope improvements are among the largest capital expenditures a building owner makes. They are also technically complex, and their energy performance can be difficult to verify after installation.
An owner's representative gives ownership an independent point of contact across the design team and contractors, helping keep scope, budget, and performance goals aligned from design through closeout.
We represent the owner through the full project, from defining scope and selecting contractors to overseeing construction and confirming that installed systems perform as intended.
Service 03
For many buildings, LL97 compliance involves a series of capital projects carried out over several years, each with its own contractors, budget, schedule, and technical dependencies.
Coordinating those projects as a single program helps keep work in the right sequence, avoids duplicated effort, and keeps spending tied to the emissions reductions the building needs.
We provide program schedules, budget tracking, contractor coordination, and regular reporting to ownership, and we help resolve technical and schedule issues as they come up.
How It Works
A typical engagement follows four stages.
We review the building's energy data, compliance filings, and capital history to establish a baseline.
We estimate LL97 exposure, identify available incentives, and develop a plan with measures ranked by emissions reduction per dollar spent.
We manage or oversee the work, from a single boiler replacement to a multi-year electrification program, and keep ownership informed throughout.
We compare actual performance against projections, support annual LL97 filings, and maintain documentation for future compliance periods.
Next Steps
Initial consultations are free and carry no obligation. We will discuss the building, its compliance position, and the options available.
