Sign Up For Energy Code
Performance Pilot Study

NYC Design Professionals
- There is still time to submit your application to take part in
our new Energy Code Pilot Study.

Design professionals who
participate in the study will be able to contribute to the
development of a new performance-based Energy Code for New York
City, by testing new compliance tools developed by Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for their building design
plans. These newly developed performance based compliance tools,
which are being tested to replace the prescriptive approach,
will allow building owners to better understand how their entire
building, and building systems, are performing in terms of
energy efficiency.

The study will help
determine whether these energy-efficiency analysis tools can
simplify the energy-modeling process, and be used as a feasible
compliance option for more projects going forward. We need your
input in this Pilot Program as we work to develop a new
performance-based Energy Code, which will be a critical step
towards more efficiently designed buildings and a more
sustainable city.

The deadline to submit an
application to participate in the pilot study is Tuesday, August
31, 2021.
