About NYC Local Law 84

Local Law 84 was signed into law in 2009 as part of a larger package of energy laws known as the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan. The law applies to New York City buildings larger than 50,000 square The law requires owners and managers to report their building's energy usage to the City of New York on a yearly basis. ReDocs is experiences at assisting property owners with New York City's Greener Greater Building Plan, Local Law 84 and Local Law 87 compliance. 

According to Rodces firm is that the first step to making a building more efficient is to understand how much energy and water it uses and how its usage compares with that of similar buildings. Therefore, the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan (GGBP) requires owners of large buildings to annually measure their energy consumption in a process called benchmarking. We are one of the leading providers of this service having done hundreds of projects in the short time since the law came into effect in 2013.

Water Reduction

Redocs can reduce your building’s water & sewer costs substantially with no cost to you and with guaranteed savings.

Water has stealthily become a major building operating expense.   It is now mentioned in the same breath as taxes, insurance, and oil & natural gas. It is not uncommon to see water & sewer costs in excess of $1000 per apartment.

Fortunately, buildings can fight back, and in a major way. Straightforward water reduction options exist which can result in cost savings of as much as 30 to 50 percent.

Added Bonus – Oil and Natural Gas Savings

In addition to lower waters costs, reduced water usage also means lower oil or natural gas costs. 30 to 40% of a buildings heating oil or natural gas bill is made up of the cost of heating hot water. When less water is used, less energy is required to heat the water.

Steam-Heat Balancing

Redocs can dramatically reduce your heating oil or natural gas bills simply by getting your heating system working the way it was intended.

Apartment 6A should be the same temperature as apartment 6J during the winter.   As most apartment building owners, co-ops, and condos know, this is rarely the case.   The reality is that apartment 6A could be 80 degrees(overheated) and apartment 6J could be 65 degrees(under-heated). The fact that one apartment is too hot means that the building is using far more heating fuel than is necessary. The fact that the other apartment is too cold means that the heat is not effectively getting to certain apartments. It is the number one cause of excessive heating fuel costs. Further, it is a situation often made worse as the building attempts to provide even more heat to the building in an effort to satisfy the low temperature apartments

.

Fortunately, this can be resolved and buildings can significantly reduce their heating oil and/or natural gas costs. Every temperature degree reduced is equivalent to a 3-5% heating fuel reduction. Imagine being able to heat all the apartments to a comfortable 72 or 73 degrees instead of heating some apartments to temperatures of 80 degrees and higher.   Imagine the energy savings.

New York City Local Law 87 requires that all New York City buildings greater than 50,000 square feet undergo a professional energy assessment and that the results of this assessment be filed as a report with the New York City Department of Buildings
