The New York City Council just approved a major update for the NYC Electrical Code, the first comprehensive revision of the Code since 2011!! Here’s what’s changing: ⚡ Enhanced safety standards: Aligning with national best practices. ⚡ Increased resilience: New rules for rebuilding/reconditioning electrical equipment and systems in the aftermath of flood events. ⚡ Boosting EV infrastructure: More support for charging stations in garages. ⚡ Facilitating fossil fuel phase-out: Regulations will point the way for newer buildings that use electricity for heating, hot water, and cooking. ⚡ Better backups: Electric battery systems can meet the needs for emergency and standby systems as a cleaner, safer alternative to fossil fuels. ⚡ Longer license terms: 3 years, reducing the hassle of frequent renewals. ⚡ Better design requirements for energy storage systems: Building a more reliable, resilient city grid. Big thank yous are in order for the volunteers of the Electrical Code Revision Committee, DOB staff who worked on the new Code, the City Council, and Committee Chair Pierina Sanchez who sponsored the bill. These changes will go a long way toward making electrical work more efficient, cost effective, and safe!

Lighting consumes between 10% and 25% of a building’s electricity. Conversions to light-emitting diode (LED) lighting typically save 50% of electricity, and lighting controls can save an additional 80%. Thanks to the GSA Green Proving Ground (GPG) program and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, "LED Lighting and Controls Guidance for Federal Buildings" helps Federal agencies select the most cost-effective and energy-efficient lighting systems available.
