Proposed Session Description
While the Climate Mobilization Act has been the focus of much industry discussion, NYC Local Law 88 has not received much attention despite its potential as a key driver for carbon reduction. Under LL88, all buildings with 25,000+ sqft must upgrade facility-wide lighting and lighting controls by 2025. The YMCA is one of the first to proactively undertake this ambitious work, upgrading all 22 NYC branches, including offices, gyms, schools, hotels, and housing. This massive upgrade resulted in 2,500 tons of annual carbon reduction and nearly $700,000 in annual savings. This session provides an opportunity to learn the benefits and challenges of early compliance with LL88 and the difficulties encountered in planning and installation.
Why is this session important?
Local Law 88 compliance is currently overlooked by most industry practitioners and stakeholders despite the fact all NYC buildings greater than 25,000 sqft must comply, the fact that all buildings must complete their upgrades by 2025 (in just 3 years!), and the law has great potential for deep carbon savings. Additionally, building decision makers must be made aware of the difficulties of implementing lighting upgrades in tenant and 24-hour spaces and the benefits of early compliance as lighting codes become stricter. This session will play a role in bridging the gap between decision makers and this critical local law by showcasing the process to navigate early compliance and ensure deep carbon savings are achieved.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to explain Local Law 88 and persuade building decision makers to pursue early compliance and achieve carbon savings now rather than by the 2025 deadline
Attendees will be better prepared to bring all needed stakeholders into the decision early-on and effectively manage the difficulties of overseeing multi-building portfolios and coordinate solutions
Attendees will be able to develop a process for implementing Local Law 88 compliance lighting upgrades in tenant and 24-hour spaces
Attendees will be able to select lighting technologies with better energy and carbon saving capabilities to harness the full carbon reduction potential of LL88 compliance
