    USL Technology connects you to engineers that assist existing buildings in ensuring that systems are designed, installed, functionally tested, and capable of being operated and maintained according to the owner’s operational needs.

Outcomes

Local Law Compliance

NYC has several local laws that require buildings to meet certain energy standards.

  • Manage and report on your energy data (LL84/LL133/LL87)
  • Get you a high letter grade on your building performance (LL95)
  • Avoid LL97 penalties

Carbon Emission Reduction

The building sector makes up nearly 70% of NYC’s carbon footprint. By implementing energy saving measures and sustainable roofs, your building’s carbon footprint will be cut, save you from LL97 penalties, and possibly earn you income in the carbon marketplace.

Efficient Use of Resources

When you implement Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) in your building, the energy it consumes is used more efficiently while extending the lifetime of your equipment.

Cost Savings

With Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) in place, your building’s energy use will come down and you will see immediate effects on your energy bills.
