What Does the Local Law 88 Mandate?
Now that you understand what Local Law 88 is, you may be wondering what the major requirements are that your property needs to meet. We’ve mentioned them here for you:
Energy Efficient Lighting Upgrades
All buildings need to replace old, inefficient lighting with energy-efficient lighting such as LED fixtures. The purpose behind this requirement is to reduce energy costs and waste, ensuring compliance with the NYC Energy Conservation Code.
Sub-metering for Large Commercial Spaces
Electric sub-meters need to be installed in non-residential spaces with a tenant space above 5000 sq ft. These sub-meters allow monitoring of each tenant’s electricity usage. This allows for fair energy billing based on energy consumption.
