Green Light Energy Conservation:58-71 56 DRIVE

How does Green Light Energy Conservation:58-71 56 DRIVE compare with other refrigerated warehouse buildings in New York City?

The latest disclosures cover 64 refrigerated warehouse buildings in New York City, out of 48,310 buildings citywide. Green Light Energy Conservation:58-71 56 DRIVE's ENERGY STAR score of 1 compares with an average of 50 across the 51 that report a score; it scores higher than 0% of them and lower than 92%. Its site EUI of 147.4 kBtu/ft² is about twice the average of 69.9 kBtu/ft² — it uses more energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 16.9 kgCO₂e/ft² is about 151% above the group average of 6.7 kgCO₂e/ft².

At 63,518 sq ft, it is about 19% below the average floor area of 78,204 sq ft for those buildings. Its 1964 construction date is close to the group's average year built (1963). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 472 refrigerated warehouse buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 52 and a site EUI of 76.3 kBtu/ft².

What does an ENERGY STAR score of 1 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: 1 is the bottom of the scale. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 1 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 74 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. 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. Green Light Energy Conservation:58-71 56 DRIVE's 147.4 kBtu/ft² across 63,518 sq ft works out to about 9.4 billion Btu (2,744 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 409.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,709,589 kWh of electricity, 1,186 therms of natural gas and 248 thousand gallons of water for the year.

Which law requires Green Light Energy Conservation:58-71 56 DRIVE to report its energy use?

Green Light Energy Conservation:58-71 56 DRIVE 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. The record shown here is the report-year 2024 disclosure (source record nyc:40311092:2024). 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.
