• Provide information to the public through DEP’s capital projects website
8
PlaNYC
• Launched 2007, Updated 2011• 25 Agencies• 132 initiatives:
• Housing & Neighborhoods• Parks and Public Spaces• Brownfields• Waterways• Water Supply• Transportation• Energy • Air Quality• Solid Waste• Climate Change
Including:• 30% GHG Reduction• 30% Energy Reduction• 75% Solid Waste Diversion
9
NYC Green Codes
LOCAL LAWS
• LL 84: Benchmarking
• LL 85: NYC Energy Conservation Code
• LL 86: Minimum Sustainability Requirements for New and Existing Construction
• LL 87: Energy Audits and Retro-commissioning
• LL 88: Lighting Upgrades & Sub-metering

One City, Built to Last
Transforming New York City for a Low-Carbon Future
• Launched September 2014
• Goal: reduce city-wide emissions by 80% by 2050
Guiding Strategies:
• Expand financing options for energy efficiency projects
• Increase energy performance standards for new construction and renovations
• Install 100 MW of onsite renewable energy at City owned facilities

Water Infrastructure Needs - Downward Spiral
System ages and shows signs of degradation.Occasional breaks
and leaks occur. Leakage stresses
system components. Components nearing design life. Failure of pipe joints, hydrants, and valves.
With no measurable capital improvements the cycle continues.
Increase in leakage undermines pipe
bedding and decreases structural
integrity.

Project Delivery System
What is a PDS?• A tool for all managers project
staff.
• Procedures to guide the project planning and execution.
• System to project implementation is consistent.
• The PDS includes many requirements, but is a guide. Not all projects will fit the mold.

Lessons Learned
• Training:
– Online Training
– In-Person Classes
– Project Specific Workshops
• Communication:
– Engineers need to convey what they are designing to the public
• Adapt:
– Understand changes in the social-political environment that impacts projects
• Infrastructure
– Justify our spending, no matter what the project is
• How does your City/Agency/Company compare Nationally? Globally?

BEDC Sustainability Policy.Incorporates the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability into the execution of capital projects
Measures performance to ensure that we meet or exceed the goals of PlaNYC and local laws
Identifies opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption as a result of a project’s design and construction
Identifies risks associated with climate change and provides mitigation and adaptation solutions for DEP assets
Improves long-term reliability of our facilities through cost-effective design solutions that are integrated with the community, environment and the greater network of DEP facilities
Reduces environmental impacts of our operations through resource allocation, reduction of waste streams, and environmentally responsible business practices.
Complies with relevant legislation, while striving to achieve internationally accepted best practices
