Workforce Solutions for Decarbonizing Buildings

With the first compliance period for Local Law 97 around the corner, energy upgrades in NYC’s existing buildings will need to pick up. But what kind of upgrades are needed, and who will do the work? 

This event at 32BJ looked at the role building operators will play in helping New York’s buildings meet their carbon reduction goals. This event featured a new analysis that gives context to what these energy upgrades will mean for the workforce, followed by a panel discussion that will show how building operators will contribute to the success of NYC’s decarbonization efforts.
