As the sustainability landscape continues to evolve, building owners and managers in New York face increasing pressure to comply not only with local laws but also with more comprehensive sustainability goals. While Local Law 97 (LL97) has set a vital standard for emissions reduction within the city, the reality is that compliance is just one piece of a much larger puzzle.
