Join the Conversation
Turning Data into Action: Decarbonization Pathways for Office Buildings (April 18, 9-10:30am)
Join BE-Ex for the launch of Turning Data into Action: Office Buildings, a strategic retrofit guide designed to help building decision-makers achieve emissions savings and comply with Local Law 97. The strategic retrofit guide sifts through NYC benchmarking data and energy audits to identify the most impactful and cost-effective emissions reductions measures for commercial office buildings. Four tear sheets, organized by common heating and cooling systems, offer proven decarbonization pathways for buildings at nearly any level of baseline performance. Join this program to get first access to the report.
Passive House Fundamentals (April 18, 1-2pm)
The afternoon of April 18, dive deep into the fundamentals of high-comfort, ultra-low-energy use building design and construction: airtightness, energy recovery ventilation, insulation and thermal bridging, and high-performance windows & doors.
NYC Bar Fourth Annual Earth Day Climate Change Symposium (April 20, 8:30am-12:30pm)
Building Energy Exchange’s Executive Director Richard Yancey joins the New York City Bar Association for a symposium on climate policy, with a focus on recent landmark city, state, and federal legislation that addresses the intersection between climate change, infrastructure, renewable energy.
