Volume 5 | Issue 12: Requirement To Post Energy Efficiency Rating

RPO would like to remind clients that the Department of Buildings requires that buildings subject to NYC Benchmarking rules must post Building Energy Efficiency Rating Labels no later than October 30, 2020. The Building Energy Efficiency Rating Labels must be placed in a conspicuous location near each public entrance to the building.

Starting October 1, 2020, owners can access and print the label through a new Building Energy Efficiency Rating tab in the DOB NOW Public Portal that will look like this:

The printed label will include the energy efficiency score of the building and an energy efficiency rating of A through F. Failure to post the label by October 30, may result in a civil penalty of $1250.

Please contact our office you wish to engage us for any consulting or assistance with this requirement.
