NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services

The New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services' mission is to make city government work for all New Yorkers. From managing New York City’s most iconic courthouses and municipal buildings, to purchasing over $1 billion annually in goods and services for more than 80 City agencies — DCAS ensures that all agencies can deliver on their mission. DCAS’ reach touches every facet of city government and is instrumental to the successful day-to-day operations of the City of New York. DCAS’ commitment to equity, effectiveness, and sustainability guides our work providing City agencies with the critical resources and support needed to succeed, including: recruiting, hiring, and training City employees, managing 55 public buildings, acquiring, selling, and leasing City property, purchasing over $1 billion in goods and services for City agencies, overseeing the greenest municipal vehicle fleet in the country, and leading the City's efforts to reduce carbon emissions from government operations. 

The DCAS Division Energy Management (DEM) is the hub for decarbonization and energy management in New York City's public buildings. DEM plays a critical role in supporting our agency partners' progress towards the City's major greenhouse gas emissions reduction and energy objectives. These goals include:

1. 80x50, a carbon reduction goal to reduce 80 percent of New York City’s overall emissions, for City government operations and the private sector, by 2050.
2. 40x25 and 50x30, carbon reduction goals to reduce 40 percent emissions for City government operations by 2025 and 50 percent by 2030, as steps toward 80x50.
3. 100MWx25, a goal to install 100 megawatts of solar photovoltaic systems on City buildings by 2025.
