Items III & IV - AGENDA:
1. Proof of Publication: The Rivertowns Enterprise – November 10, 2016
2. To consider the advisability of adopting Proposed Local Law D of 2016 to
establish benchmarking requirements for certain municipal buildings.
.
Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of HastingsonHudson
as follows:
SECTION 1: The Code of the Village of HastingsonHudson
is hereby amended by adding a new
Chapter 190, entitled “MUNICIPAL BUILDING ENERGY BENCHMARKING,” to read as follows:
Buildings are the single largest user of energy in the State of New York. The poorest performing
buildings typically use several times the energy of the highest performing buildings—for the exact
same building use. As such, this Local Law will use Building Energy Benchmarking to promote the
public health, safety, and welfare by making available good, actionable information on municipal
building energy use to help identify opportunities to cut costs and reduce pollution in the Village of
HastingsonHudson.
Collecting, reporting, and sharing Building Energy Benchmarking data on a regular basis allows
municipal officials and the public to understand the energy performance of municipal buildings
relative to similar buildings nationwide. Equipped with this information, the Village of HastingsonHudson
is able to make smarter, more costeffective
operational and capital investment decisions,
reward efficiency, and drive widespread, continuous improvement.
§1902. DEFINITIONS
A. “Benchmarking Information” shall mean information generated by Portfolio Manager, as herein
defined including descriptive information about the physical building and its operational
characteristics.
B. “Building Energy Benchmarking” shall mean the process of measuring a building’s Energy use,
tracking that use over time, and comparing performance to similar buildings.
C. “Administrator” shall mean the head of the Department.
D. “Covered Municipal Building” shall mean a building or facility that is owned or occupied by the
Village of HastingsonHudson
that is 1,000 square feet or larger in size.

for use in a building, or renewable onsite
electricity generation, for purposes of providing heating,
cooling, lighting, water heating, or for powering or fueling other enduses
in the building and related
facilities, as reflected in Utility bills or other documentation of actual Energy use.
G. “Energy Performance Score” shall mean the numeric rating generated by Portfolio Manager that
compares the Energy usage of the building to that of similar buildings.
H. “Energy Use Intensity (EUI)” shall mean the kBTUs (1,000 British Thermal Units) used per
square foot of gross floor area.
I. “Gross Floor Area” shall mean the total number of enclosed square feet measured between the
exterior surfaces of the fixed walls within any structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering
any use or occupancy.
J. “Portfolio Manager” shall mean ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, the internetbased
tool
developed and maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to track and
assess the relative Energy performance of buildings nationwide, or successor.
K. “Utility” shall mean an entity that distributes and sells Energy to Covered Municipal Buildings.

property under 30year
average temperatures, accounting for the difference between average

by the first applicable date following occupancy for inputting Energy use into Portfolio Manager, the
Administrator or his or her designee from the Department shall begin inputting data in the following
year.
§1905. DISCLOSURE AND PUBLICATION OF BENCHMARKING INFORMATION
A. The Department shall make available to the public on the internet Benchmarking Information for
the previous calendar year, no later than December 31, 2016 and by September 1 of each year

The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, provision,
