Local Law 97 Explained
Answers about the Climate Mobilization Act and how windows help.
What Is Local Law 97?
Local Law 97, officially known as the Climate Mobilization Act, is a groundbreaking legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change within New York City. Introduced in 2019, this law sets ambitious carbon emission limits for buildings over a certain size, targeting a significant reduction in the city’s overall carbon footprint.
What Is the Role of Windows in Local Law 97?
Windows play a crucial role in achieving compliance with Local Law 97. They are essential components in enhancing a building’s energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Inefficiencies in windows, such as air leaks, poor insulation, or outdated glazing, can significantly impact a building’s overall energy consumption.
Local Law 97 mandates that buildings undergo periodic energy efficiency assessments, known as Local Law 97 Energy Grades. These grades are determined by assessing various factors, including a building’s energy use intensity (EUI), carbon emissions, and compliance with specific energy-saving measures. Windows are integral to this assessment, as they are assessed for their energy performance, insulation properties, and overall efficiency.
