NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)
Energy use and emissions
The Wick Building'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 71 kBtu per square foot, 25% above the national median of 56.9 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 672 metric tons of CO2e (6.72 kg per square foot).
