Welcome to the Empire Building Challenge Knowledge Base. Using this website, NYSERDA is sharing the lessons learned from the Empire Building
and introducing the Resource Efficient Electrification (REE) framework. Following the REE approach, building owners can build a clear path towards carbon neutral operations by adopting an incremental methodology and integrated design process combined with strategic capital planning.

The Empire Building Challenge Knowledge BaseA Made in New York Approach to Cold Climate Tall Building Decarbonization |
Through the Empire Building Challenge, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is partnering with the real estate industry and its ecosystem of consulting engineers to develop a novel approach to decarbonization tailored specifically to high-rise buildings in cold climates. This is part of a $6.8 Billion NYSERDA effort to help buildings across New York transition off fossil fuels.
