Bloomberg on Building Codes

Bloomberg's record on green buildings is solid. Highlights: In 2005, he signed legislation for green building standards for NYC's capital projects over $2 million. In August 2007, Bloomberg announced the completion of a LEED-certified, affordable housing complex in the South Bronx. In October 2007, he signed an executive order to reduce emissions from city-owned buildings and operations by 30% in ten years, a part of his energy initiative in PlaNYC.
