To meet the City's goal of reducing greenhouse emissions by 30% by 2030, the New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC) sets energy-efficiency standards for new construction and alterations to existing buildings. All new building and alteration applications filed on or after December 28, 2010 must comply with the 2011 edition of the NYCECC.

The Department offers the following six training modules on the Energy Code in pdf format. The modules are useful for architects, engineers, plan examiners, builders, inspectors, owners and others, both in the construction industry and within the Department. An interactive format of the modules will be available in the future. The Department encourages interested parties to download the modules, reproduce them without alteration and/or use them for live presentation for educational purposes. The modules may not be used for commercial purposes.
