A building operator and a board member will discuss the evolving role of operators and the importance of training and operations and maintenance (O&M). This session will also explore free training available for operators and ways management companies/employers can work with the 32BJ Training Fund. Speakers will describe ways the building community can help influence and support training and O&M to empower incumbent operators to move away from fossil fuels and be equipped for the challenges ahead.

As we look to comply with NYC Local Law 97 (LL97), we must efficiently leverage other energy-related laws in order to make more cost-effective, timely, and holistic decisions regarding electrification and carbon reduction upgrades. Our panel will discuss the timelines of NYC laws for buildings, how they are interconnected, and how they can be leveraged.
