All additions, renovations and repairs to comply with new construction requirements of the 2010 New York State Energy Code
• Even if the work involves less than 50% of a system
• Areas outside of work not required to comply
• Compliance to be indicated on construction docs
New York City Energy Code
SCHEDULE • In effect July 1, 2010
APPLIES TO • All buildings • All work requiring DOB construction submission

THREE LAWS FOR LARGE BUILDINGS
Which buildings are covered?
1 building more than 50,000 sq. feet
2+ buildings on same tax lot more than 100,000 sq. feet
2+ buildings in condo ownership more than 100,000 sq. feet
BENCHMARKING
What is it?
SCHEDULE • Report benchmark scores for previous year by May 1st • Beginning May 1, 2011 for privately-owned buildings • Benchmark annually thereafter
BENCHMARKING
REQUIREMENTS • Report energy consumption (water is optional) • Use EPA online Energy Star Portfolio Manager • Input building data, occupants and operating hours
BENCHMARKING
Public Reporting Annual benchmarks to be posted publicly on DOF website starting:
Sept. 1, 2011 City Buildings
Sept. 1, 2012 Non-residential Buildings
Sept. 1, 2013 Residential Buildings

AUDITS & RETRO-COMMISSIONING
EARLY COMPLIANCE
• If EER is filed prior to 2013 . . . . . . next filing is due 10 years after its first “scheduled” filing
For example, if a building scheduled to file in 2018 files in 2013, the next filing for that building would be due in 2028
AUDITS & RETRO-COMMISSIONING
