Episode Synopsis "Urban Green Live: The New NYC Bureau of Sustainability"

The New York City Department of Buildings recently created the Bureau of Sustainability, led by newly appointed Deputy Commissioner for Sustainability Laura Popa, a former member of the Urban Green Council Board of Directors. DOB’s first-ever climate-focused bureau will direct the department’s sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives, including the implementation of LL97.   On December 15, we sat down with Laura to discuss the bureau’s work, its priorities for the coming months and what it all means for the buildings industry.
