Building Performance Standards · Compliance & Benchmarking
Don't pay LL97 fines. Get ahead of them.
NYC Local Law 97 and building performance standards in a dozen other cities impose escalating fines on buildings that miss carbon emissions targets. STS maps your exposure and builds a compliance pathway before the deadlines.

Cost of compliance vs. fine exposure
Your NYC buildings have LL97 exposure. STS will assess your fine risk and build a compliance pathway to avoid penalties.
How It Works
LL97 fines begin now. The clock is running.
NYC Local Law 97 imposes carbon emissions caps on buildings over 25,000 sq ft starting in 2024, with fines of $268 per metric ton over the cap.

Why It Works
The fines are real, the deadlines are fixed, and the compliance options narrow each year.
LL97 fines are assessed annually on each ton of excess carbon emissions. A building missing its cap by 500 tons in 2025 pays $134,000 that year alone. Early action creates more options and lower cost.
