Event Details
We covered much of the new regulations being passed by the City in June, and came to find that our Boards can’t possibly learn everything they needed to know in one session. We have added this event as a follow up for those who attended our June session, and as a make up session for those who could not. This Argo University will focus on upcoming issues, as our panelist of compliance and energy professionals unpack the most pressing concerns regarding new laws. We will cover emissions caps and new systems of “grading” buildings, as required by NYC Climate Mobilization Act, which some people are calling NYC’s Green New Deal. Join us to find out how your building might be affected, and let us answer your questions about compliance and your building.
