About This Course:
Climate change is one of the major challenges of our time, and countries are becoming increasingly aware of the need for integrated strategies to address the issue, and avoid the imminent danger of its impacts on the planet. And with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and becoming “carbon neutral” by 2050, the New York City enacted the most ambitious climate legislation by any city in the world – Local Law 97 of 2019, which may serve as benchmarking for other metropolitans globally.
In this webinar, the framework and process behind the Local Law will be examined, and attendees will learn what properties are affected by the Law, as well as its impacts on capital improvements. The key design concepts and points of awareness relevant to the Local Law will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will learn about the process behind the law will be examined
Attendees will understand how the Local Law will impact capital improvements
The compliance options will be discussed
The attendees will be provided a walk-through of what architects and design professionals may be aware of in the project planning process
