The Bradish Johnson Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 78 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 78 earns a B. The Department of Buildings assigns the grade a building posts, so the posted label can differ if a filing was corrected.
