SUMMARY:Tackling Traffic: Options for Reducing Vehicular Traffic & Emissions in NYC
DESCRIPTION:The Guarini Center and the NYU Environmental Law Journal hosted an event entitled\, “Tackling Traffic: Options for Reducing Vehicular Traffic and Emissions on New York City Streets.” \nAs New York City’s subway system continues to be in crisis\, many have questioned how transportation can be improved in order to get commuters moving as efficiently as possible. In 2008\, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg suggested a congestion pricing scheme\, aimed at easing traffic and raising money for the city’s aging infrastructure\, which never made it to a vote. In August 2017\, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced that the “time has come” for resurrecting a congestion pricing scheme and creating a proposal substantially different from Bloomberg’s. Locally\, Move NY\, a grassroots campaign seeking to build support for a master transportation plan for the New York metropolitan area\, has released its own proposal — the Move NY Fair Plan\, focusing on providing toll equity\, reducing congestion\, boosting the regional economy\, and raising signficant revenues for high-priority road\, bridge\, and transit projects. \nThis event facilitated the needed dialogue concerning vehicular traffic and the public health consequences of vehicular emissions\, as well as the possible outlets toward reducing them\, including congestion pricing and so-called low emission zones. We looked at this issue through many lenses\, including: legal\, environmental\, political and economic. \nModerator: \nKatrina Wyman\, Sarah Herring Sorin Professor of Law\, New York University School of Law \nSpeakers: \nAshwini Chhabra\, Head of Policy Development\, Uber \nIyad Kheirbek\, Director of Air Quality Program\, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene \nSam Schwartz\, President\, CEO & Founder\, Sam Schwartz Engineering \nElizabeth Stein\, Senior Manager of New York Clean Energy Law & Policy Program\, Environmental Defense Fund

SUMMARY:Building Energy Disclosure: Policy Trends and Market Impacts
DESCRIPTION:The Guarini Center and a group of leading experts had a discussion on “Building Energy Disclosure: Policy Trends and Market Impacts.” \nIn 2009\, New York City enacted a pioneering energy disclosure policy\, Local Law 84\, which requires large buildings to submit annual energy benchmarking data. Today\, a number of stakeholders have begun to consider how Local Law 84 might be updated and the City Council introduced legislation on the subject this past summer. At this upcoming breakfast meeting\, leading industry experts will consider the impact that energy disclosure regulations in New York City and elsewhere have had and how these policies may be reformed. \n  \nThe speakers: \nDaniel Egan\, Vice President\, Head of Sustainability and Utilities\, Vornado Realty Trust \nHelen Gurfel\, Executive Director\, Urban Land Institute Greenprint Center for Building Performance \nBrad A. Molotsky\, Partner\, LEED AP-OM\, Duane Morris LLP \nDana Schneider\, Managing Director\, JLL \n  \nThis event is hosted in collaboration with: \n \n  \n  \nSpeakers biographies: \n \nDaniel Egan is Vice President of Sustainability and Utilities for Vornado Realty Trust.

The projects are part of a retrofit cycle for Vornado’s existing portfolio that includes energy audits and retrocommissioning\, third party design and validation of retrofit projects\, project management\, and measurement and verification. \nAnother part of Dan’s role focuses on Vornado’s response to emerging trends in Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) for the real estate industry. These ESG trends include topics in occupant health and indoor environmental quality\, securing corporate debt in the form of green bonds\, and the growing interest from the investor base in the management of Vornado’s carbon footprint. \nDan serves on the boards of the Building Energy Exchange\, REBNY Sustainability Committee and is co-President of the New York Energy Consumers Council in NYC.

Ms. Schneider joined JLL in January 2002. \nMs. Schneider led the whole-building energy retrofit of the Empire State Building and achieved LEED EBOM Gold certification for the most famous office building in the world in 2011. This major initiative uses a groundbreaking analytical model for maximizing energy and environmental value per dollar spent\, which she was instrumental in developing. Ms. Schneider has replicated this energy optimization process in dozens of projects across the U.S. In addition to her continuing innovative sustainability performance optimization work at the Empire State Building\, she manages energy and sustainability aspects of commercial office\, mixed use\, convention center\, entertainment/hospitality\, schools\, and mission critical facilities across the country and has led energy and sustainability assignments at over 80 million square feet of properties and hundreds of projects in the Northeast alone.
