Abstract
Buildings and energy systems are shaped within many different kinds of departments and agencies throughout local governments. This chapter argues that further opportunities exist to reduce the energy use of buildings and their associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the existing powers and jurisdiction of local governments. We use the example of New York City, where buildings produced 73% of all GHG emissions in 2014. By analyzing a dataset of almost 4,000 large buildings, we identify new opportunities for planners and other professionals to reduce energy use and GHG emissions by focusing on different mechanisms and/or collaborations.
