NYC Accelerator – Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
NYC Accelerator is a free service that streamlines the path from planning to execution by connecting building owners and managers with vetted experts, financing, incentives, and government programs. We simplify complex requirements and help move projects forward so you can achieve compliance faster.
Start by exploring NYC Accelerator’s program offerings to understand available resources (such as free technical assistance, and Local Law 97 details). You can also sign up for Momentum — a platform that helps move retrofit projects from planning through implementation — to begin planning your project. Whether you explore Momentum on your own or contact us directly, NYC Accelerator can connect you with the right support based on your building and goals.
NYC Accelerator services are free and available to help you plan and deliver building upgrades.
A member of the team will follow up within 2 business days. Providing more details about your building and goals can help us connect you to the right resources more quickly.
Eligibility & Audience
NYC Accelerator supports building owners, property managers, co-op and condo boards, and others responsible for building performance. We also work with service providers who support retrofit projects. Many materials will be provided in several languages, please contact us if you are looking for something in a particular language.
NYC Accelerator supports all buildings across New York City, including multifamily, commercial, campus-style buildings, and institutional buildings.
Even if your building is not covered by Local Law 97, you can still access resources, tools, and guidance to improve building performance and plan future upgrades. For example, if your building is under 5,000 square feet, NYC Accelerator will connect you with your local NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) Clean Energy Hub and explain how they can support your goals.
Local Laws & Compliance
Local Law 97 passed in 2019 to limit greenhouse gas emissions from most NYC buildings larger than 25,000 square feet beginning in 2024. The law includes two primary compliance pathways:
Article 320: Most covered buildings must follow this pathway by meeting annual greenhouse gas emissions limits starting in 2024 that become stricter over a series of phased compliance periods starting in in 2030, 2035, 2040 and 2050.
Article 321: Certain buildings, including buildings with more than 35% rent-regulated units and houses of worship, have a one-time obligation to implement 13 prescriptive energy conservation measures specified by the Department of Buildings.
Property owners can refer to the Covered Buildings Lists posted by the NYC Department of Buildings each year to determine which compliance pathway to follow.
NYC Accelerator helps you understand requirements, identify next steps, and plan projects that reduce emissions and move you toward compliance with the help of a dedicated NYC Accelerator support staff. Please note that to actually report your emissions, you must follow these three steps:
1. Pay the Local Law 97 filing fee DOB NOW
2. Share your building’s energy source data through the Energy Star Portfolio Manager (ESPM).
3. Submit your report using the NYC Building Energy Analysis Manager (BEAM) portal with the certification by and help of a Registered Design Professional (RDP). For support connecting with an RDP, reach out to the NYC Accelerator.
