New Energy Letter Grades Out
Today!

The updated 2021 Energy Grades are
officially here. A full year has passed since the launch of New
York City's Energy Efficiency Letter Grade Signs program, which
means that starting today, October 1st, owners of our city's
largest buildings must obtain and print out their 2021 Letter
Grade Signs from the DOB
NOW Public Portal.

The label includes the 1-100 ENERGY STAR® score and
corresponding A-D letter grade to give New Yorkers a snapshot of
a building's energy performance compared to similar buildings.
These letter grades provide an easy to understand level of
transparency on how our city's largest buildings stack up when
it comes to energy efficiency.

Per New York City law, all
buildings over 25,000 square feet – and multiple buildings on a
single lot that total at least 100,000 square feet – are
required to display these energy grade signs at each public
entrance by October 31st.
