2019 Renewable Energy Forum

Please join us as we welcome building owners, contractors and elected officials for a timely discussion surrounding New York City’s plans for emissions reductions and the role of natural gas in today’s energy debate. Our expert-led forum will discuss the role of natural gas in today’s environmentally conscious energy debate. With the term “fossil fuel” growing more and more stigmatized, companies believe the only means to become more environmentally aware is the complete transition to alternative energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind. Speakers will explore the impact of sustainable technology, fuels and systems on carbon reductions in the built environment, as well as profitable investments in a building’s future.

The program will address the following topics:

• New methods in place for making the built environment a greener and more economically efficient place
• Local Law 97, the portion of the NYC Carbon Emissions Bill targeting City properties exceeding 25,000 square and how this legislation will impact building owners
• The importance of leveraging available technology, inclusive of natural gas, to bring today’s infrastructure into compliance.
