The push toward sustainability has never been more urgent. On November 7, 2024, buildee® and WatchWire by Tango hosted an informative webinar titled "The Roadmap to Decarbonization", featuring Matt Landin, VP of Energy & Asset Management at the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYC EDC). This session offered a deep dive into how NYC EDC is tackling the complexities of energy management, cost control, and emissions reduction across its vast portfolio of 400+ diverse buildings.
Navigating Challenges with Innovation
Compliance with New York City’s stringent energy regulations, such as Local Law 97, presents a daunting challenge. NYC EDC is required to meet benchmarking standards and conduct audits while optimizing energy use and capital investments. To address these demands, NYC EDC adopted buildee as a key tool in standardizing asset tracking, consolidating utility data, and streamlining capital planning processes.
Through a strategic partnership with an engineering firm, NYC EDC used buildee to catalog building equipment data and identify energy-saving opportunities. This approach enabled precise benchmarking, actionable insights, and better long-term planning. The integration of buildee® with WatchWire enhanced data analysis, while PowerBI provided leadership with a holistic view of energy and capital investment decisions.
