NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)
Energy use and emissions
23 Chambers Street's 2024 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR score (a campus of several buildings cannot get a 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 73.7 kBtu per square foot, 24% above the national median of 59.2 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 9,949 metric tons of CO2e (6.61 kg per square foot). The filing covers 3 tax lots together, so these figures are for the whole property.
