The latest disclosures cover 234 distribution center buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. AVERY GROUP LLC's ENERGY STAR score of 100 compares with an average of 52 across the 201 that report a score; it scores higher than 95% of them. Its site EUI of 4.2 kBtu/ft² is about 91% below the average of 45.1 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.4 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 88% below the group average of 3.5 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 51,194 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 105,336 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 2021, 58 years later than the group's average year built (1963). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 100 mean?

ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: 100 is the top of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 100 falls in band A — high performer (85–100). Scores of 75 or higher meet the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification; certification itself is a separate, verified application that the disclosure does not record. In New York City, 43% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.

Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. AVERY GROUP LLC's 4.2 kBtu/ft² across 51,194 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (63 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 10.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 48,476 kWh of electricity, 494 therms of natural gas and 15 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires AVERY GROUP LLC to report its energy use?

AVERY GROUP LLC reports under Local Law 84 (LL84), the legal basis of New York City's Energy and Water Data Disclosure program, which publishes each covered building's annual benchmarking results.

Under Local Law 97, buildings over 25,000 sq ft face carbon caps with fines of $268 per metric ton of CO₂e over the limit, phasing in from 2024.
