2023-S562 - Summary

Enacts the "all-electric building act"; provides that the state energy conservation construction code shall prohibit infrastructure, building systems, or equipment used for the combustion of fossil fuels in new construction statewide no later than December 31, 2023 if the building is less than seven stories and July 1, 2027 if the building is seven stories or more.

BILL NUMBER: S562

SPONSOR: KAVANAGH
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the energy law, in relation to enacting the "all-elec-
tric building act"

 
PURPOSE:

To decrease greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in new
construction projects by phasing out the construction of new buildings
containing fossil fuel hookups.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill sets forth the short title.

Section 2 of the bill amends Section 11-102 of the energy law by adding
a new definition for "all-electric ready":

Section 3 of the bill amends Section 11-104 of the energy law by adding

three new subdivisions 6, 7 and 8.

Subdivision 6 of Section 11-104 of the energy law directs the state fire
prevention and building code council to prohibit the installation of
systems that can be used for the combustion of fossil fuels in new
construction. This prohibition shall take effect no later than December
31, 2023 for buildings under six stories, and no later than July 1, 2027
for all other buildings.

Subdivision 7 of Section 11-104 of the energy law allows the code coun-
cil to exempt certain systems from this prohibition including those for
emergency back-up power or for buildings designated as a commercial food
establishment, laboratory, laundromat, hospital, or crematorium. If a
system is exempt, it must be limited to only the area of such building
where it is technically infeasible to prohibit fossil fuel usage. Finan-
cial considerations alone are not enough to justify infeasibility. To
the fullest extent feasible, any fossil fuel systems that are exempt
must be installed as all-electric ready.

Subdivision 8 of Section 11-104 of the energy law makes clear that noth-
ing in this section shall preempt a municipality within the state from
adopting their own prohibitions.

Section 4 of the bill creates a new Section 11-111 in the energy law.
This section directs the department of public service, the division of
housing and community renewal, the department of state, and the energy
research and development authority to report jointly to the Governor and
Legislature by February 1, 2023 regarding any electric rate design or
policy changes need to be made to ensure this act does not diminish
affordable housing production or affordability of electricity for
customers in all-electric buildings.

Section 5 sets forth the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:


Electrification has been proven to be a vital and cost-effective tool in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the U.S. Energy Informa-
tion Administration, buildings account for twenty-eight percent of the
United States' energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition,
corporations seeking approval for infrastructure to transport and
distribute natural gas in New York have emphasized that the rationale
for creating such infrastructure is based in part on projected increased
demand for natural gas from customers in new buildings. Prohibiting the
use of fossil fuels in new construction will eliminate this rationale
and help achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals established
in the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
(CLCPA) and further New York's record as a leader in combating climate
change.

In December 2021, New York City became the largest city in the nation to
enact a prohibition on fossil fuels in new construction. By aligning the
state's policy with NYC Local Law 154 it is estimated that we will save
an additional 4 million metric tons of CO2 beyond the 2 million metric
tons estimated to be saved by NYC's law. The Climate Action Council in
their final approved scoping plan also highlighted the need for immedi-
ate building electrification along the same timeline enacted in NYC and
contemplated by this legislation.

   tric building act"
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "all-electric building act".
   § 2. Section 11-102 of the energy law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
 subdivision 17 to read as follows:
   17. "ALL-ELECTRIC READY." A BUILDING, PROJECT, OR PORTION THEREOF THAT
 CONTAINS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND DESIGNS THAT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CAPACITY
 FOR A FUTURE RETROFIT OF A MIXED-FUEL BUILDING TO AN ALL-ELECTRIC BUILD-
 ING,  INCLUDING  SUFFICIENT  SPACE,  DRAINAGE,  ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS OR
 RACEWAYS, BUS BAR CAPACITY, AND OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES FOR  SUCH
 RETROFIT.    THE  STATE  FIRE PREVENTION AND BUILDING CODE COUNCIL SHALL
 PROMULGATE GUIDELINES FOR AN ELECTRIC-READY BUILDING ON OR BEFORE  JANU-
 ARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-FOUR.
   §  3.  Section 11-104 of the energy law is amended by adding three new
 subdivisions 7, 8 and 9 to read as follows:
   7. TO SUPPORT THE GOAL OF ZERO ON-SITE GREENHOUSE  GAS  EMISSIONS  AND
 HELP  ACHIEVE THE STATE'S CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE AGENDA, INCLUDING BUT
 NOT LIMITED TO GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS  SET  FORTH  WITHIN
 CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIX OF THE LAWS OF TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN, ALSO KNOWN

   8.  NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  SUBDIVISION  SEVEN  OF  THIS
 SECTION, THE STATE FIRE PREVENTION AND BUILDING CODE COUNCIL MAY  EXEMPT
 SYSTEMS  FOR  EMERGENCY  BACK-UP POWER, OR BUILDINGS SPECIFICALLY DESIG-
 NATED FOR OCCUPANCY BY  A  COMMERCIAL  FOOD  ESTABLISHMENT,  LABORATORY,
 LAUNDROMAT,  HOSPITAL,  OR  CREMATORIUM,  BUT  IN DOING SO SHALL SEEK TO
 MINIMIZE EMISSIONS AND MAXIMIZE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND FIRE-PROTECTION.  IN
 SUCH  CASES,  THE CODE SHALL LIMIT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILDING SYSTEMS,
 OR EQUIPMENT USED FOR THE COMBUSTION OF FOSSIL FUELS TO THE  SYSTEM  AND
 AREA  OF  A BUILDING FOR WHICH A PROHIBITION ON INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILDING
 SYSTEMS, OR EQUIPMENT USED FOR THE COMBUSTION OF FOSSIL FUELS IS  INFEA-
 SIBLE.  TO  THE FULLEST EXTENT FEASIBLE, THE CODE SHALL REQUIRE THAT THE
 AREA OR  SERVICE  WITHIN  THE  PROJECT  WHERE  INFRASTRUCTURE,  BUILDING
 SYSTEMS,  OR  EQUIPMENT  USED  FOR  THE  COMBUSTION  OF FOSSIL FUELS ARE
 INSTALLED SHALL BE ALL-ELECTRIC READY.  FINANCIAL  CONSIDERATIONS  SHALL
 NOT  BE  SUFFICIENT BASIS TO DETERMINE PHYSICAL OR TECHNICAL INFEASIBIL-
 ITY. EXEMPTIONS OR WAIVERS PROVIDED  UNDER  THIS  SUBDIVISION  SHALL  BE
 REVIEWED  DURING  EACH MAJOR CODE UPDATE CYCLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY
 ARE STILL NEEDED.
   9. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE INTERPRETED OR OTHERWISE CONSTRUED
 AS PREEMPTING A MUNICIPALITY FROM PROHIBITING  INFRASTRUCTURE,  BUILDING
 SYSTEMS, OR EQUIPMENT THAT USES OR COMBUSTS FOSSIL FUELS.
   §  4. The energy law is amended by adding a new section 11-111 to read
 as follows:
   § 11-111. ADDITIONAL REPORTING.   ON OR  BEFORE  FEBRUARY  FIRST,  TWO
 THOUSAND  TWENTY-FOUR, THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE, THE DIVISION OF
 HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL, THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE, AND THE NEW YORK

 EXISTING  SUBSIDY  PROGRAMS,  POLICIES,  OR LAWS ARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE
 THAT SUBDIVISIONS SEVEN AND EIGHT OF SECTION 11-104 OF THIS  ARTICLE  DO
 NOT  DIMINISH  THE PRODUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR THE AFFORDABILITY
 OF ELECTRICITY FOR CUSTOMERS IN ALL-ELECTRIC BUILDINGS. FOR THE  PURPOSE
 OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION,  "AFFORDABILITY  OF  ELECTRICITY" SHALL MEAN THAT
 ELECTRICITY DOES NOT COST MORE THAN SIX PERCENT OF A RESIDENTIAL CUSTOM-
 ER'S INCOME.
   § 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
