Recent New York building energy regulations have left many building developers, owners and managers confused on what to do, how to comply, what fines they may be facing and how to finance any required building modifications. With the expansion of the new laws to include most buildings over 25,000 square feet, the number of buildings affected has grown significantly. But energy upgrades compete with other capital planning priorities and budget constraints. And with the recent downward pressure on multifamily and office rents, budgets are tighter than they’ve been for a long time. And yet there is only a short timeline until fines are handed out for non-compliance.
