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

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
I.ncorporates 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
