Green building standards and repealing section 224.1 of the New York city charter in relation thereto.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to green building standards and repealing section 224.1 of the New York city charter in relation thereto

This bill would make updates to Local Law 86 of 2005, which requires that certain city-owned and city-funded buildings be built to specific green design and performance standards, as set forth in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. This bill brings the existing law into alignment with updates that have been made since the bill’s passage, including, among other things, updating the baseline inflation year, ensuring the most recent energy standards are being used, and streamlining administrative and reporting requirements.
