A Yorkville co-op's successful HVAC upgrade demonstrates how boards can tackle Local Law 97 compliance while achieving significant cost savings. The $900,000 project, overseen by the ENPOWER Group, replaced an inefficient gas-powered absorption chiller with an electric heat pump system, eliminating $80,000 in annual carbon penalties and generating $80,000 in yearly energy savings, with a projected 5-year payback period. Habitat's Emily Myers interviews ENPOWER's Michael Scorrano, managing director, to understand this practical blueprint for other NYC buildings facing similar challenges.
