Avant Green 97 is the first national database of large commercial buildings covered by energy emissions caps, documenting their energy output, primary lien holders and property owners. The name is derived from New York City Local Law 97, a first in the nation regulation that looks to cap energy output for buildings larger than 25 thousand square feet, based on use type. Our dataset categorizes the primary use types for all buildings, including multiuse properties such as universities, condos, and office buildings with restaurants, parking garages and residential spaces.
We aim to facilitate lowering the carbon footprints of these properties, which currently account for 45% of all emissions in our cities.
