About Local Law 87:

Under New York City’s Local Law 87 of 2009 (LL87) all buildings over 50,000 square feet in gross area are required to perform an Energy Audit and Retro-Commissioning  (RCx) every 10 years.  The Energy Audit and Retro-Commissioning Analysis jointly comprise an Energy Efficiency Report that must be submitted to the NYC Department of Buildings by December 31st of the building’s reporting year to ensure compliance with Local Law 87.
