ISO 50001 certification in New York at a glance
Energy management in New York now has a deadline attached. Local Law 97 sets annual greenhouse gas emissions limits for certain buildings, and the Department of Buildings has revised those limits using Energy Star Portfolio Manager property types. ISO 50001 is not the law and does not stand in for it, but it gives an owner the discipline to meet it: an energy review, identified significant uses, a baseline, performance indicators, action plans and management review. Offices, hospitals, hotels and industrial tenants with big loads benefit most. Sterling's New York office builds the system with building engineers and facilities managers, uses Effivity to track actions, and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body. Local questions follow.
Why ISO 50001 in New York
- Owners and operators of buildings covered by Local Law 97Emissions limits make energy use a management matter.

ISO 50001 in New York: questions clients ask
Does ISO 50001 satisfy Local Law 97?
No. Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas emissions limits for covered buildings and is administered by the Department of Buildings; ISO 50001 is a voluntary energy management system. It helps an owner find savings and track progress, but compliance is measured against the law's own limits and filings.
Which New York properties gain most from an energy management system?
Large buildings with complex mechanical plant, such as offices, hotels and hospitals, and industrial users with heavy loads. The standard requires an energy review, significant energy uses, a baseline and performance indicators, which turn scattered meter data into decisions that facilities teams can act on.
