Local Law 97 (LL97) is a crucial piece of legislation that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in New York City by requiring buildings to meet strict energy efficiency standards. To comply with this law, building owners and managers need to track and report their energy use and carbon emissions, and implement measures to reduce energy waste and improve their building's energy efficiency. This is where energy benchmarking comes into play.
Energy benchmarking is the process of measuring a building's energy use and comparing it to similar buildings in the industry. It provides valuable insights into a building's energy performance and identifies opportunities for improvement. By using energy benchmarking, building owners and managers can track their progress toward meeting LL97 requirements and take steps to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Vert Energy Group's VertPro platform is an innovative solution that can help building owners and managers meet LL97 requirements through energy benchmarking. This platform provides comprehensive data analysis and reporting tools that enable clients to track their energy use and carbon emissions, identify areas of high energy consumption and potential savings, and set energy efficiency goals.
VertPro's energy benchmarking features enable building owners and managers to compare their energy performance to similar buildings in the industry, benchmark their building's energy use intensity (EUI) against the city's mandated limits, and monitor their progress towards meeting LL97 requirements.
