Understanding Local Law 97

New York City’s Local Law 97 (LL97), part of the 2019 Climate Mobilization Act, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from large buildings over 25,000 square feet. Property owners must adhere to strict carbon limits, with a 40% reduction goal by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Compliance reports for the 2024 calendar year are due by May 1, 2025, and failure to comply can result in financial penalties.

The Challenge for Building Owners

With nearly 50,000 affected buildings, owners must implement energy-efficient upgrades such as improved insulation, advanced windows, and smart shading solutions to meet LL97’s requirements. These changes not only ensure compliance but also reduce energy costs and contribute to a greener city.
