Code Compliance

Local Law 87 (LL87) mandates that buildings over 50,000 gross square feet undergo professional energy audit and retro-commissioning measures, as part of the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan (GGBP). This law was designed to make building owners aware of their energy consumption through energy audits, surveys and analyses of energy use, and retro-commissioning, the process of ensuring correct equipment installation and performance.  

HLZAE can undertake this analysis and prepare the necessary Energy Audit report in compliance with NYC LL 87 requirements and file the report with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) prior to the deadline for your building. During the energy audit, our energy professionals with the necessary energy auditing and retro commissioning credentials issued by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) detail the building’s energy usage while identifying the systems responsible for the usage such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, etc.  

Once identified, we propose ways to reduce the building’s energy usage as well as perform all the necessary calculations to delineate the energy savings associated with each energy conservation measures including a life cycle cost analysis. HLZAE will then review all available City, State and/or Federal programs/incentives that may be available to assist in financing each of the energy conservation upgrades that have been identified and file all necessary reports with the DOB.
