At its 2024 energy use, 525 Broadway comes to about 84 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 420 tons for 2024 to 2029 (20% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 168 tons and the same energy use counts as about 42 tons, still under the limit.

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.
