In the dynamic realm of urban development, New York City has taken bold strides to address energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through legislation like Local Law 88 and Local Law 97. These mandates compel building owners to upgrade their lighting systems and enhance energy efficiency. It’s far more than just deploying LED lights that just suffice a current code, however, a full PoE solution that can be compared to the sound of a classical conductor harmoniously working with a world class symphony.
MHT Technologies, a pioneering software development and lighting services company based in New York, offers innovative solutions, particularly through their market leading PoE smart building technology platform, Inspextor. As an authorized reseller of MHT Technologies, Wise Components brings additional expertise to the table, to ensure a comprehensive approach to meet evolving compliance requirements.
What is Local Law 88 (LL88)? Local Law 88 of 2009, along with subsequent expansions, mandates lighting upgrades for common areas in residential buildings exceeding 25,000 sq/ft and all non-residential buildings exceeding 25,000 sq/ft by 2025. MHT Technologies’ Inspextor, with its three U.S. Patents, emerges as a game-changer, seamlessly connecting devices and systems to create a safer, more productive, and energy-efficient environment. The platform’s ability to turn sensor-based feedback into actionable data aligns perfectly with LL88 requirements. MHT’s cutting-edge solutions provide building owners with a streamlined process for compliance. As an authorized reseller, Wise Components looks to help educate strategic partnerships from architects and consultants to union and non-union contractors on quality solutions that complement MHT Technologies solution.
What is Local Law 97 (LL97)? Local Law 97, a key component of the Climate Mobilization Act, sets stringent energy efficiency and emissions limits for buildings also over 25,000 sq/ft. Companies such as MHT Technologies and Wise Components, recognize the urgency and offer quality reliable robust solutions to help building owners meet these goals. A comprehensive strategy to achieve sustainability and energy efficiency is provided by their combined expertise in integrating several building subsystems including: cameras, sensors, PoE lighting, and overall layer one infrastructure. As a strategic partner, Wise Components provides their clients access to MHT’s Technologies expert solutions with tailored support and guidance.
