In this featured interview with The New York Real Estate Journal, Goldman Copeland Principal John McBride address the impact of various local law deadlines and requirements on electrical engineering.
Of the recent flurry of local laws, McBride said, “In some cases, the role of electrical engineering is more obvious and, in other cases, more nuanced. But, in all cases, it’s crucial. Local Law 154, for instance, is known as ‘the building electrification law,’ as it forces a shift from natural gas and heating oil to electricity. Local Law 88/134 similarly addresses energy efficiency in lighting. Local Law 97 is different because it requires broad reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from larger buildings.”
