About 50,000 structures - more than half the buildings in the city, are subject to Local Law 97. So building owners must make dramatic cuts starting next year or face escalating fines under a new city law. New York state’s buildings also emit more air pollution than any other state’s. Buildings are by far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions here, roughly two-thirds, according to the city buildings department.

And there’s a dire need for reducing emissions from skyscrapers like these in such a vertical city. The goal is to stop that climate-warming gas from entering the atmosphere. In an effort to drastically reduce the 30-story building’s emissions, the owners have installed a maze of twisting pipes and tanks that collect carbon dioxide from the massive, gas-fired boilers in the basement before it goes to the chimney and is released into the air. Yet just below in the basement is an unusual set of equipment that no other building in New York City - indeed few in the world - can claim.
