Sustainability & Decarbonization
Local Law 97, state decarbonization mandates, and federal IRA incentives have made carbon a financial discipline as much as an environmental one. KeRi was founded on the belief that systems should not just work. They should answer to the client and the community. We deliver the roadmap and the engineering to execute it.
Commercial buildings consume over a third of total U.S. energy and account for nearly a third of greenhouse gas emissions. We provide sustainable solutions as part of our normal design process or as a standalone consulting service, from a single LEED charrette to a portfolio-wide electrification roadmap.
Our Approach
How We Work
A decarbonization roadmap is only useful if it can be built and financed. We sequence electrification measures against equipment end-of-life, capital cycles, LL97 penalty windows, and incentive deadlines, so compliance becomes a plan, not a fine.
- LL97 compliance strategy & penalty avoidance
- Electrification & heat-pump conversion engineering
- LEED, WELL, Passive House certification support
