Expanding the list of buildings required to be benchmarked for energy and water efficiency.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the list of buildings required to be benchmarked for energy and water efficiency

Currently, buildings 50,000 gross square feet or larger are required to benchmark annually. This bill would expand the City’s benchmarking requirement to buildings 25,000 gross square feet or larger and require the Department of Buildings to establish a system to assist such buildings in meeting their benchmarking requirements.
