What Local Law 87 requires
Local Law 87 requires larger NYC buildings to perform a periodic energy audit and retro-commissioning (RCx), filed as an Energy Efficiency Report (EER), on a recurring cycle. The goal is to identify and correct energy waste in building systems.
Which buildings are covered
It generally targets buildings above a square-footage threshold, scheduled by tax block on a multi-year cycle. {{VERIFY_CURRENT_THRESHOLD}} — confirm your building's coverage and due year with the DOB or ask us to check.
The mechanical side
Much of what an audit flags is mechanical: boiler and HVAC efficiency, controls, scheduling and distribution. Retro-commissioning tunes existing systems to run as intended before recommending capital upgrades.
How we support compliance
We handle the mechanical assessment and corrective work — boiler and HVAC tuning, controls and distribution fixes — and coordinate with your energy auditor so the report reflects work actually done.
