The Benefits of Local Law 84 Compliance:

Local Law 84 Benchmarking gives building owners and managers the tools they need to clearly understand how their building uses energy, what amount of energy goes into each aspect of the building’s operation (e.g. computers, heating, cooling…..) and how their building compares to other similar buildings in the New York market. This data can then be used to target areas of possible improvement and take appropriate steps to reduce the buildings energy consumption. 

Our Approach:

Our Local Law 84 compliance service makes benchmarking easy and hassle-free. Local Law 84 requires every building in New York City over 50,000 square feet to submit an energy benchmark on May 1st of every year. However, with our service you have the option to conduct benchmarking on a monthly basis rather than annually. Benchmarking is the process of measuring your building’s energy and water consumption, and comparing it with that of similar buildings. Pinnacle Energy can help ensure that your report is complete, accurate and on time.
