The Adams Dry Goods Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 83 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 83 earns a B. The Department of Buildings assigns the grade a building posts, so the posted label can differ if a filing was corrected. Its site energy use came to 68.9 kBtu per square foot, 40% below the national median of 114.1 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 1,936 metric tons of CO2e (7.19 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Adams Dry Goods Building comes to about 1,470 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 2,331 tons for 2024 to 2029 (63% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 805 tons and the same energy use counts as about 822 tons, about 17 tons over, or an estimated $4,600 a year unless the building cuts its emissions. This is an estimate from the owner's 2024 benchmarking filing using the coefficients and per-use limits in the law and the Department of Buildings rule, at $268 per ton over. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report, which can count credits and deductions this estimate cannot.
