Victoria Agostino, Energy Efficiency Coordinator 

Energy efficiency is a huge step for decreasing harmful emissions and pollutants that are released into the air we breathe. NYC is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States, so being proactive in the transition to clean energy sources will only positively impact the planet and future generations to come.

Ayeesha Ali, Account Manager

NYC building owners and managers have the power to reduce carbon emissions and create more sustainable buildings when implementing energy conservation measures. It’s important for the resiliency of the city and for future generations.

Emily Baumbach, Account Manager

By working in the multifamily affordable housing space we can assist the building owners, property managers, and board members that really need our support the most. Energy efficiency is great for New Yorkers not only because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality, but also because it makes living and working in the city more comfortable and affordable.

Mike Berry, New Buildings Manager

With over 24 years’ experience in the energy-efficient new construction and retrofit industry, I have seen the benefits that futureproofing buildings can have on decreasing carbon emissions and local law fines. When we value new building technologies and construction practices, we can create more efficient and resilient buildings. 

Valerie Corbett, Account Manager  

It's important to make New York City a healthy place for our economic wellbeing and for the future - our children and grandchildren. Many of our beautiful buildings are still using steam-heating technology invented in the 1800s. Together we can reduce our buildings’ carbon emissions, save money, and help occupants be more comfortable. 

Christina Curry, Account Manager

Growing up in Chicago and now a NYC resident, I love cities and dedicated my career to improving the quality of life for all residents through urban planning and policy that prioritizes sustainability. Since buildings are the largest contributor to NYC’s carbon emissions, there is a lot of opportunity to improve. NYC building owners and managers have an important role in making NYC a more sustainable city in ways that can benefit them and their communities.

Yangchen Dolma, Account Manager

Through a collective effort, we have to reinvent our city systems and create a greener future. That means making sure major stakeholders such as NYC building owners and managers, especially those in the multifamily affordable housing sector, have sufficient resources and support to implement energy efficiency measures. I’m proud to help the communities I grew up in as an account manager for NYC Accelerator.

Lisa Grayson Zygmunt, Outreach Manager

Our future depends on how we manage our buildings and energy choices. Our program accelerates the process of transforming buildings to make the city cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable for all—now and for generations to come. 

LeAnne Harvey, Account Manager

New Yorkers rely on our buildings to live comfortably. Improving energy efficiency and powering building systems with renewable energy is essential as we mitigate and adapt to a changing climate. Helping building owners plan for upgrades and reduce greenhouse gas emissions helps ensure all New Yorkers benefit from cleaner air, safer spaces, and healthier homes.

Allen Hobbs, Account Manager

I have lived in Manhattan my whole life and raised my family here. I love this city. Through NYC Accelerator, I am prepared and knowledgeable, and I am committed to educating and helping building owners and property managers find the best way to reduce carbon emissions in their buildings. 

Carly Ayukawa, Solar Specialist

Solar PV harnesses the unlimited, renewable potential of the sun and reduces our grid’s reliance on dirty, expensive fossil fuels. With solar, NYC building owners and managers can see reduced electricity bills, benefit from tax incentives, and support our transition to a decarbonized NYC.

Jose Galvez Contreras, Solar Specialist

Solar energy is a clean energy technology option for building owners and managers to cut costs through electricity savings. In addition to savings on utility bills, building owners and managers can benefit from local, state, and federal incentives associated with their investment in a solar energy system. By installing solar energy, building owners and managers will also advance NYC's transition to a carbon-free future.

Jenny Salsini, Marketing Coordinator

Case studies allow building stakeholders to share their experiences and best practices to inspire others to create change within the community. Recognizing entities leading change in energy performance across the city is essential. It sets an example for others to follow, spurs healthy competition, and, most importantly, raises awareness about energy conservation.
