What we do, described in terms that apply anywhere. The engineering is jurisdiction-neutral; the caps, deadlines, and penalty math are just parameters that change from one state to the next.
ESPM account setup and administration, utility-data acquisition and reconciliation, annual filings, resolve violations. Nearly every benchmarking mandate in the country runs through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, so this work travels from one jurisdiction to the next.
We calculate emissions limits, derive actual emissions from metered data, and model exposure across compliance periods. Deliverables are defensible. The math is jurisdiction-specific; the method is not.
ASHRAE Level II audits and retro-commissioning under a qualified agent, with energy conservation measures priced out for savings, cost, and simple payback. Retro-commissioning tunes a building's existing systems back to peak performance under real operating load, often the fastest and lowest-cost path to real savings.
Fundamental and enhanced commissioning against the applicable energy code, including preliminary and final commissioning reports and approved-agency coordination.
When a building's bills jump and nobody knows why, we find out. Metered consumption analysis across all fuels, verification that reads are actual rather than estimated, on-site infrared thermometry, segregated steam mass-flow data, drawing review, and physical inspection of the mechanical rooms. Classic finds include simultaneous heating and cooling, failed condensate and ejector pumps, and controls that were never enforced.
Measure identification, sequencing, and financial modeling toward an emissions target, whether that target is regulatory, corporate ESG, or owner-driven. We show which measures move the number, in what order, and at what cost.
Utility and state program identification, application support, cost-shared study funding. We tell owners honestly when a project won't pencil, before they spend money finding out.
We provide these services nationwide, wherever your buildings sit. Our home market is New York City, where we work daily inside the most demanding framework in the country.
NYC's carbon cap law, the toughest building performance standard in the country. We verify the Covered Buildings List, calculate emissions limits from ESPM property-type factors, and model penalty exposure across the 2024 to 2029 and 2030 to 2034 periods. Where the number is high, we map the regulatory pathways: §320.7 hardship, good-faith-effort electives, and the prescriptive Article 321 route.
ESPM account setup and data administration, utility-data acquisition and reconciliation with Con Edison and National Grid, annual filing, and violation cure. We file authorization affidavits so Green Armor is the sole party filing for the property.
ASHRAE Level II audit of base-building systems and retro-commissioning under a qualified RCx agent, tested and calibrated under load. We identify energy conservation measures with savings, cost, and simple payback, and prepare and file the Energy Efficiency Report.
Bringing lighting up to current energy code and installing tenant-space sub-metering in covered buildings, coordinated with the building's broader compliance plan.
Fundamental and enhanced commissioning under C408, preliminary and final commissioning reports timed to Certificate of Occupancy, and, under the 2025 code, continuous air-barrier commissioning, with TR-8 and approved-agency coordination.
Most owners come in needing a filing and leave with a plan. Tell us the address and we'll tell you what applies.
