  • New York City Local Law 84 Benchmarking Report

    PLANYC Just Released the Benchmarking Report:

    The report is the first analysis of New York City benchmarking data collected as part of Local Law 84 of 2009 (LL84), which requires all privately-owned properties with individual buildings over 50,000 square feet (sq ft) or with multiple buildings with a combined square footage over 100,000 sq ft to annually measure and report their energy and water use. Similar reports will be produced on the benchmarking data compiled in each of the coming two years. Data reported for calendar year 2010 encompasses nearly 1.7 billion sq ft of built space— equal to the built areas of Boston and San Francisco combined. This constitutes the largest collection of benchmarking data gathered for a single jurisdiction and documents the current state of energy consumption and performance in large buildings in New York City.
