The Learning Committee of CoreNet Global NYC Chapter will present a luncheon workshop on New York City's Greener, Greater Buildings Plan. The workshop, led by representatives from the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability and the New York City Department of Buildings, will focus on the city's 4 energy efficiency bills which were recently passed by the City Council: Audits and Retro-Commissioning Bill; Lighting Upgrades and Sub-metering Bill; Benchmarking Bill; and New York City Energy Conservation Code Bill. The presentation also will include their impact on the Building Code and Commercial Buildings in NYC.
The event will be held Thursday, April 8 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, 61st Floor (Registrants must use the W34th Street entrance).
