Context: Making New York City's one Million Building Clean and Efficient

In 2019, the New York City Council passed the Climate Mobilization Act (CMA). This plan represents New York City’s commitment to the carbon drawdown targets set out in the Paris Agreement, pledging the city to carbon neutrality by 2050. The CMA is the largest climate solution put forth by any city in the world. In most major cities in the US, transportation produces the bulk of emissions, however, in New York City, 68% of emissions come from buildings. Almost half of those emissions come from only 2% of buildings. The city is therefore in desperate need of needs aggressive retrofits to make existing buildings more efficient.

New York State is one of the national leaders in terms of providing incentives forenergy efficiency (approximately 0 million per year) for a variety of programs,including direct incentives for energy reduction and market transformation. Theseprograms are administered by local utilities and the New York State Energy Researchand Development Authority (NYSERDA).
There is currently a rise in demand and interest in energy-efficient, sustainable, andretrofitting-solutions in NYC, however, there is a gap in technology and know-how inthe US which creates new market opportunities that especially European companieswill be able to tap into and provide the solutions for.
