Local Law 97 is a significant piece of legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings in New York City.
1. Energy Monitoring and Management: Implementing smart meters and energy management systems can help monitor and optimize energy usage in real-time. This can ensure that buildings stay within the emissions limits set by Local Law 97.
Our smart meters are designed for measuring and monitoring power parameters and consumption over time. These devices learn the load profiles of various operational equipment and alerts when the power profile is not performing. In other words, we can know ahead of time when systems and equipment require maintenance or exchange.
2. HVAC Optimization: Smart HVAC systems can adjust heating, ventilation, and air conditioning based on occupancy and weather conditions, significantly reducing energy consumption. Easiest is upgrading old style controls and thermostats with smart HVAC controls to bring to network for clarity, performance better management. The same schedule for maintenance from 4 years ago is not the schedule for today.
Metro PHX experienced 35 days over 113 degrees- steady- which created many instances of failures when cool air is needed most.
3. Lighting Control : Automated lighting systems that use sensors to adjust lighting based on occupancy and natural light availability can reduce energy use. New types of status lighting also bring new applications for warnings with color change to signal operations teams or the public. This could be used for gaseous and particulates in the air.
4. Building Automation Systems (BAS): Integrating various building systems (like HVAC, lighting, and security) into a centralized BAS can improve overall energy efficiency and provide detailed analytics for better decision-making. And it is scalable, start small -add over time. Simplify the upgrade to ease the costs.
5. Renewable Energy Integration: Smart technologies can facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, into the building’s energy system, helping to reduce reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources. Our smart metering systems were designed with the addition of renewables and can provide easy management and data over time.
6. Predictive Maintenance: Using IoT sensors and predictive analytics to perform maintenance on equipment before it fails can improve efficiency and reduce downtime, contributing to lower overall emissions.
7. Data Analytics and Reporting: Advanced data analytics can help track energy usage patterns and identify areas for improvement. Automated reporting tools can ensure compliance with Local Law 97’s reporting requirements.
When there is access to the measured and monitored data – improvements are simplified.
