NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)

Energy use and emissions

Kings Plaza's 2023 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR score (no single use that ENERGY STAR scores covers more than half of the floor area), 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 92.9 kBtu per square foot, 35% below the national median of 142.1 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 13,576 metric tons of CO2e (5.4 kg per square foot). The filing covers 3 tax lots together, so these figures are for the whole property.
