Technical Series on Buildings & Carbon-Neutrality
Part 1 – Sources of Carbon Emissions from Buildings
- Date: May 16, 2022

Technical Series on Buildings & Carbon-Neutrality
Part 2 – NYC’s LL97 as Economic Vehicle to Reduce Carbon Emissions
- Date: June 1, 2022
- Author: Ed Ettinger, Managing Principal
- Category: Sustainability
With Part 1 of our series surrounding buildings and carbon neutrality under our belt, we can discuss how equivalent carbon dioxide emissions are calculated and how NYC’s Local Law 97 (LL97) has attached economic drivers to the reduction of such at a building level. Using LL97 as the focal point of iscussion, we’ll discuss how NYC has approached the subject matter.
Technical Series on Buildings & Carbon-Neutrality
Part 3 – The ‘Right’ Way to Approach Building System Electrification
- Date: June 20, 2022
- Author: Ed Ettinger, Managing Principal
- Category: Sustainability
With Parts 1 & 2 of our four-part series on buildings and carbon neutrality published, we can now discuss the ‘right’ way to approach building system electrification a little. In particular, we believe the conversation should be economically grounded as, of course, the dollars and cents of a decision are usually one of the most determinant factors. We will continue to use NYC as our test case here although commentary for other locales is included
