New York City got a lot of attention last month for its decision to ban natural gas in new buildings. But what can the city do about gas use in the buildings it already has? 

“We’re here today due to a simple and powerful truth: furnaces, boilers and hot water heaters emit more carbon in NYC than all uses of electricity combined,” said John Mandyck, CEO of Urban Green Council. “This law begins to change that reality — to tackle our largest source of carbon — so we get to the climate future we want with better air to breathe.”
