They are prepared for cold offices, colder conference rooms and icy shops and subway cars. But if shawls were 2008’s hot weather trend, we’ve got a problem.

As acknowledged in the Plan, buildings account for 79% of the green house gas emissions in New York City, so modifying the Building and Energy codes are key tools in abating their contribution to global warming. The Plan also recognized that the Zoning Resolution constitutes another one of the key tools available to address these challenges. http://www.sallan.org/newviews/archives/snapshot/#002017 http://www.sallan.org/newviews/archives/snapshot/#002017 Snapshot Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:12:49 -0500
