Local Law 97 is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges facing New York City buildings — especially co-ops and condos.

Designed to cut carbon emissions, the law sets strict limits for large buildings, with steep penalties for those that don’t comply. It’s a major step toward the city’s climate goals, but for co-ops, the path forward is far from straightforward.

So what does compliance actually look like?

In this episode, we’re joined by Richard Yancey, CEO of the Building Energy Exchange, to break down what Local Law 97 means for co-ops and what comes next for buildings across New York City.

Resources discussed in the episode:

• BE-Ex's Cutting Carbon in Co-ops & Condos project
• BE-Ex's Climate Mobilization Act Series
• BE-Ex's Building Performance Partnership Webinar
• NYC Accelerator
• New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation
• Council of New York Cooperatives & Condominiums
