The PSC approved new requirements to protect tenants in electrically heated multi-family buildings that are to be submetered. Under the new requirements, building owners must invest in energy efficiency measures to achieve savings of 20%, must install accessible meters, must provide tenants with information on energy conservation and must adhere to certain provisions/protections under the Home Energy Fair Practices Act (HEFPA).
