Planning for Net-Zero: The Retrofit Playbook for Large Buildings with New Empire Building Challenge Multifamily Winners

Are you a multifamily building owner or manager trying to meet your Local Law 97 obligations? Are you a solution provider looking for a better way to assist your clients with complex decarbonization projects?

Join Building Energy Exchange, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), and Urban Land Institute (ULI) on June 11th to learn about a proven decarbonization planning approach that integrates technical solutions with pragmatic asset management strategies known as Resource Efficient Decarbonization; and meet the multifamily real estate owners participating in NYSERDA’s Empire Building Challenge (EBC), who are finding solutions to decarbonization challenges across the multifamily building market––from senior housing and affordable residential facilities, to market rate condos and mixed use buildings.

Following a one-hour hybrid segment of opening remarks and presentations, in-person participants will be able to meet the EBC partners and ask questions about their decarbonization projects in facilitated discussions with leaders from NYC Housing Preservation & Development (HPD), NYS Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), NYC Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice (MOCEJ), NYSERDA, and RMI.

Open networking with light refreshments will conclude the final hour of the event.

Opening Remarks:
Michael Reed, Acting Head of Large Buildings, NYSERDA

Presentations by:
Brett Bridgeland, Principal, Carbon Free Buildings, RMI
Richard Yancey, Executive Director, Building Energy Exchange
