Zoning for Decarbonization
In April 2023, the NYC Dept of City Planning proposed amendments to the City’s zoning resolution that would modernize the zoning code to make it easier to meet NYC climate goals. The proposed changes - referred to as 'City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality' - will cover energy, buildings, transportation, waste & storm water...and will include recommendations from Urban Green’s 2018 Zone Greener report.
If enacted, these changes will remove some existing barriers to decarbonization projects in the NYC zoning code which are particularly important for buildings. The amendments are now under a public review period.
Join Urban Green for a panel discussion with experienced building professionals to learn how these new zoning changes will help enable energy efficient design & retrofits, electrification, solar, battery storage, and other building decarbonization projects.
