Proposed Session Description
To comply with NYC Local Law 97, buildings will need to be advised on how to implement capital measures that reduce emissions. It will be critical for buildings to understand the feasibility of the recommended measures -- can heat pump water heaters be incorporated into existing mechanical spaces? Can we place condensers in balconies? Can we install VFDs on all pumps? With a strong foundation of NYC building, zoning, and energy codes, we will discuss practical and efficient project implementation. This talk will address some of the necessary feasibility checks for typically recommended measures. We will present case examples of design, feasibility, O&M, and cost considerations from a design engineer, energy auditor, and property manager.
Why is this session important?
We need to bridge the gap between the measures that are being recommended to buildings for energy and carbon reduction and actual design and implementation best practices. Effective project execution is crucial so electrification and emerging technologies help achieve carbon emission reduction goals, do not suffer from poor reputations, and achieve maximized return on investment.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to better advise building decision makers on how to most cost-effectively and efficiently create energy and carbon reduction roadmaps and implement retrofits to decarbonize their facilities.
Attendees will be able to explain the crucial role of design professionals during the capital planning process and persuade building decision makers to pursue early partnerships with engineers and architects for more cost-effective and holistic capital planning and project execution.
Attendees will be able to facilitate and lead discussions within their own organizations regarding a variety of energy and carbon reducing retrofit measures.
Attendees will have a framework with which to make better, more cost-effective decisions when deciding which type of carbon reduction upgrades to implement.
