| NYC Design Professionals 
				- There is still time to submit your application to take part in 
				our new Energy Code Pilot Study. Design professionals who 
				participate in the study will be able to contribute to the 
				development of a new performance-based Energy Code for New York 
				City, by testing new compliance tools developed by Pacific 
				Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for their building design 
				plans. These newly developed performance based compliance tools, 
				which are being tested to replace the prescriptive approach, 
				will allow building owners to better understand how their entire 
				building, and building systems, are performing in terms of 
				energy efficiency. The study will help 
				determine whether these energy-efficiency analysis tools can 
				simplify the energy-modeling process, and be used as a feasible 
				compliance option for more projects going forward. We need your 
				input in this Pilot Program as we work to develop a new 
				performance-based Energy Code, which will be a critical step 
				towards more efficiently designed buildings and a more 
				sustainable city. The deadline to submit an 
				application to participate in the pilot study is Tuesday, August 
				31, 2021.
