Thank you for the overwhelming response to our ongoing Department of Buildings (DOB) Webinar Series. We have had a record-breaking number of registrants for these webinars, showcasing the extreme value and interest in understanding building regulations, local law compliance, and industry best practices. The DOB Webinar Series has been a fantastic addition to our ongoing community education efforts and allows us to further support our members with critically valuable knowledge in a timely manner. We are thrilled by the turnout and positive feedback from the (many thousands of) participants. This success is a testament to the value of the information we provide and the commitment of our members to stay informed and engaged. I would like to, both personally and on behalf of ASHRAE NYC, thank the New York City (NYC) Department of Buildings (DOB) for their hard work in preparing these presentations, seamlessly handling Q&A during the live webinars, and for their proactive support in providing clear direction regarding upcoming local law compliance filing processes and scenarios. I would also like to thank the ASHRAE NYC team for their hard work and coordination in making these webinars operate so successfully. Thank you and Kudos NYC DOB and ASHRAE NYC team!
