Are you developing a new building in New York City? Here’s an incentive you shouldn’t overlook: NYC’s Ultra-Low Energy Building (ULEB) program allows new construction projects to earn up to 5% additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) through qualified energy modeling. That’s more buildable space — and a direct increase in your project’s value.
By submitting a compliant energy model and passing NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) review, your project can qualify for the ULEB NYC credit. This forward-thinking initiative supports sustainable development while rewarding high-efficiency design.
🧱 What Is an Ultra-Low Energy Building?
An Ultra-Low Energy Building is a structure that significantly outperforms NYC’s baseline energy code through smart design, insulation, and efficient systems. As part of the energy code update, ULEB incentivizes developers to design with energy conservation in mind.
In NYC, the ULEB credit grants up to 5% more FAR if you:
- Perform a qualified energy model during the design phase
- Meet or exceed ultra low energy modeling requirements
- Successfully pass DOB energy modeling review
This means greater flexibility in your development, more usable square footage, and enhanced ROI — all while contributing to NYC’s sustainability goals.
