Air Quality, Heating Oil and Recycling Environmental Workshop on April 22
Please join CIVITAS and the NYC Clean Heat program for an educational workshop to help improve air quality in the neighborhood while understanding your heating oil conversion costs. There will also be a short informational discussion regarding the NYC Department of Sanitation Apartment Building Recycling Initiative (ABRI) and what you can do to help. Please share this important announcement with all decision makers in your building.
When: Monday, April 22 at 6 pm
Where: Lenox Hill Neighborhood House
331 East 70 Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues)
Recommended Attendees: Interested residents, co-op board members, building supers, building managers, and managing agents
Registration is requested.
Agenda: A presentation and Q&A with NYC Clean Heat representatives to help buildings burning No. 6 or No. 4 heavy heating oil understand their options for converting to cleaner fuels such as ultra-low sulfur No. 2 (ULS 2), biodiesel, and/or natural gas.
In an effort to reduce the associated costs of switching from No. 6 or No. 4 to ULS 2, NYC Clean Heat will discuss how buildings near each other can be grouped together to receive a discounted oil rate from local suppliers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
What to Bring: A basic assessment of your building's current boiler system. If converting to natural gas, bring your Con Edison case number from your gas service request submittal and any other information from Con Edison as a result of the submittal such as upfront costs for service.
Things to Remember/Ask Yourself: Do you live in a building that burns No. 4 and No. 6 oils? Do you care about the quality of air in your neighborhood? The City of New York has issued a moratorium on No. 6 fuel oil and it is even more important that you push your apartment building to participate in clean heating oil conversion with NYC Clean Heat.
