This wonderful article about inefficient New York buildings just goes to show the largest part of the big answer to fixing suck low-hanging fruit, policy concerning energy efficiency:
"the bill would enable state energy regulators to loan out funds to cover the upfront costs of improving the energy efficiency of a home or business — as much as $13,000 for residential customers and as much as $26,000 for qualifying businesses. The loan would then be paid back through monthly deductions culled from the energy savings arising from the retrofit."
Win-win situation. Go NYC!!
Update on 9/23:
All NYC gov't buildings must be LEED cert by August 2010.
