And, I\u2019m proud to say New York City is in on it.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier last month, the New York City Council introduced a package of bills designed to make buildings more energy efficient. Given that about 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the City come from heating and cooling buildings, regulating how buildings manage energy is crucial to reaching Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s goal of reducing citywide emissions 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a rundown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/legistar.council.nyc.gov\/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3066695&amp;GUID=CBC9F654-EC3E-4CC8-BA14-CEED2C744414&amp;Options=&amp;Search=\"> 1629<\/a>: Proposes that the mayor\u2019s administration be required to submit recommendations to the Council for a more stringent energy code.

For example, Int. 1644, only refers to only renewable energy projects and distributed energy resource projects and does not make mention of energy efficiency projects, which aim to reduce energy use.<\/p>\n<p>Energy efficiency should be included in the bill to complement clean energy sourcing and encourage projects that will limit energy consumption. Our path to achieving 80&#215;50 goals will greatly benefit from this.<\/p>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;How to pack more power into NYC\u2019s energy-efficiency bill package&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slight changes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The other bills on the package are necessary, but some seem to duplicate existing processes.<\/p>\n<p>As it is already required, the city\u2019s energy code goes through review and is upgraded with more stringent standards every three years, which would make Int. 1629 duplicative. Why not improve the existing process to make it more efficient, transparent, and open to public feedback?<\/p>\n<p>Also, while solar is an abundant and important source of renewable energy, Int. 1639 could expand on the renewable technologies that can be used to reduce pollution, such as geothermal or solar-thermal.<\/p>\n<p>It is up to cities and states to do the heavy lifting when it comes to protecting the environment, especially now that the federal government is not engaging in these efforts. The New York City Council\u2019s commitment to making the mayor\u2019s climate goals a reality is commendable, and taking time to enhance this bill package is vital to make progress. \u00a0EDF looks forward to working with Council Members on this undertaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate of Hope, United States Climate Alliance \u2026 These are a couple of initiatives and organizations formed by individual citizens, cities, and states to fight climate change since the President withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreements.
