By Taylor Williams
summary
Elena Alschuler, director of real estate strategy at View, Inc., weighs in on New York City’s new Climate Mobilization Act, which requires all buildings more than 25,000-SF to meet strict carbon emissions standards or face a fine. Many landlords will have to re-facade their buildings and make other expensive upgrades. An upside to this, however, is that this allows a new range of technologies to provide solutions. The facade’s efficiency determines how the rest of the building will perform, so it’s important that buildings have an efficient facade.
