Energy Efficient New Construction

While work is underway to retrofit and modernize New York’s existing building stock, maximizing energy efficiency and embedding electrification during construction has been shown to be the most cost-effective way to implement clean energy systems in buildings. Designing buildings to be high-performance from the start can cut construction costs and provide long-term savings from reduced energy consumption. The shift to energy efficient, all-electric buildings will slash greenhouse gas emissions, improve indoor air quality and resilience against extreme weather, and add thousands of local clean energy and energy efficiency jobs across New York State.
