As President Trump retreats from his predecessor’s efforts to tackle  climate change , it is more important than ever that our cities and states develop tools to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for the planet’s warming. In  New York City , this means first and foremost cutting energy use in buildings, which accounts for over two-thirds of the city’s emissions. A simple tweak to an existing law could help the city reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 and create a template for the rest of the country to follow. Local Law 84, enacted in 2009, obligates the city’s largest buildings to report how much energy they consume each year. Participating buildings then receive scores indicating how efficient (or inefficient) they are compared to similar buildings. But almost no one sees the data. The ratings are posted on a government website that few people know about and are charted on a 100-point scale that is difficult to interpret.

At Guardian, we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all colleagues, suppliers, clients and visitors. This is achieved by ensuring that all employees are provided with the information, training and supervision they need to perform their job in a safe manner.  An example, Matthew Bressler our in-house OSHA trainer leads a seminar entitled "The Business Case For Safety," for one of our New Jersey clients yesterday afternoon. HEALTH AND SAFETY IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GUARDIAN BUSINES Guardian takes Health & Safety very seriously and all its operations are delivered within the framework of an OSHA. Guardian adopts an approach that seeks to continuously improve its health and safety culture and provision. It places a great emphasis on education, trying to eradicate the culture of health and safety simply as a ‘process’ which must be adhered to, and to embed a culture of understanding. This involves employees understanding the consequenc

All businesses in New York City are required to recycle certain materials and ensure to the best of their ability that those recyclable materials are properly handled by their private carter. The City published new business recycling  rules  in the City Record on February 5, 2016, and mailed official notices outlining the requirements to all businesses. If your business did not receive an official notice or would like to receive training on the new rules, please visit the  business resource page . Learn more about  managing business waste  such as hiring a carter, handling special waste, and set-out rules. What to Recycle: Textiles, Yard and Food Waste Some businesses that generate textile, yard and/or food waste must separate and recycle those materials. If your business does not meet the minimum threshold described below, DSNY still encourages you to limit the amount of waste your business sends to landfills by investigating  how to reduce, reuse, or recycle all materials

The Fix By  MICHELLE HIGGINS   JUNE 2, 2017 Continue reading the main story Share This Page Share Tweet Pin Email More Save Summer is nearly here, and your home will soon be heating up. But just the thought of looking for a new air-conditioner is enough to make you break out in a sweat. How do you know which one to buy, and how it will affect your energy bill? What if your apartment building doesn’t allow window units? Not to worry: We’ve done the research for you. The key to comfort and savings is finding the unit that fits your space. An air-conditioner that isn’t powerful enough won’t effectively cool your home and could end up inflating your power bill. One that is too powerful will work too quickly, shutting off before most of the humidity has been removed, leaving your place cool but clammy. And all that cycling on and off can stress the equipment and shorten its life span. Energy efficiency is another factor: The energy efficiency ratio (EER) is a measu

April 25, 2017 By  Jen Kincaid As temperatures begin to rise and you’re excited for the warmer seasons ahead, it’s still a good idea to remain vigilant with your apartment security. Spring and summer might be a tempting time to leave the windows in your apartment cracked open while you’re away at work or to document your every spring break activity via photos posted on social media. But, neither of these actions are good ideas because you’re opening yourself up to potential theft. Here are seven security tips to consider to help protect your apartment and valuables this spring and summer. 1. Use Outdoor Lighting and Timers Does your apartment come with an outdoor light? If so, you may want to consider turning it on each night. This lighting may help deter potential burglars from your place, says  Apartment Therapy . Some apartment buildings also try to keep walkways, parking areas and courtyards well lit. If you notice a light is out, or there’s an area that may benefit
