NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)

Energy use and emissions

22 West 27th Street's 2024 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR score, and Local Law 33 letter grades come from that score, so the filing does not yield an A to D grade. Its site energy use came to 36.1 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 72.9 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 180 metric tons of CO2e (3.16 kg per square foot).

Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated

Local Law 97 emissions limit

At its 2024 energy use, 22 West 27th Street comes to about 159 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 431 tons for 2024 to 2029 (37% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 151 tons and the same energy use counts as about 131 tons, still under the limit.

Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Office 52,817 SF; Retail Store 4,000 SF. It applies the coefficients and per-use limits in Department of Buildings rule 1 RCNY 103-14 and Administrative Code 28-320.3.1.1 (as the Department lists them) and the $268 per ton penalty, checked 2026-10-04. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report: that report can count renewable energy credits, solar and storage deductions and, for 2024 and 2025, the law's occupancy group limits where higher, and penalties can be reduced for good faith efforts.

Change these numbers in the Local Law 97 calculator to see what a cut in energy use would do to the penalty.
