Refer a
Building to NYC Accelerator

Do you live or work in a
building that could benefit from energy efficiency and clean
energy improvements?

Tell our partners at the NYC Accelerator about a building that
could use these types of upgrades to reduce its carbon
emissions, and a member of their team will reach out to the
building's owners and managers. The NYC Accelerator can provide
guidance to property owners on steps they can take to make their
building more energy efficient, leading to better air quality
and comfort for occupants, lower pollution and carbon emissions,
and compliance with local laws.

You can submit a building referral anonymously or let the
building representative know that you referred them. It only
takes a few minutes to make a difference when it comes to
decarbonizing our city.

Energy Efficiency Report Filing Requirements

In New York City, almost
two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings. To
identify energy efficiency opportunities in the largest of these
buildings, Local Law 87 of 2009 requires buildings over 50,000
gross square feet to undergo periodic energy audits and
retro-commissioning, and file an Energy Efficiency Report (EER)
with the city every ten years.

As of December 31, 2021, the Department is no longer accepting
EER submissions from property owners who owe unpaid penalties
for prior violations, until those penalties are paid in full.
