In the face of uncertain federal regulation, city and state agencies are leading the charge toward distributed energy resources (DER) integration and advancing renewables growth. According to GTM Research, 71% of New York City's greenhouse gas emissions come from its buildings.
Earlier this year, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his 80 x 50 plan to reduce the city's emissions by 80% by 2050. While reductions have been achieved through quick fixes, such as upgrading fuel for building heat, future reductions will be more difficult. Many of the commercial buildings that make up the Manhattan skyline will play a role in meeting the 80 x 50 target. In addition to new construction meeting this standard, many of these existing buildings can harness energy management software to improve energy efficiency.
